Streptomycin sulfate, Cell Culture Reagent, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
Inhibits initiation and causes misreading of rRNA in protein synthesis Streptomycin sulfate is used to study the mechanisms of streptomycin resistance. It is used to inhibit bacterial contamination in cell culture applications in association with penicillin. It is an antibiotic drug initially used for tuberculosis treatment. It inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomal subunit, which induces the misreading of the genetic code. It is involved in the initiation of translation of DNA, thereby results in death for a susceptible bacterium. Further, it controls bacterial and fungal diseases of certain fruit, vegetables, seed, ornamental crops and algae in ornamental ponds and aquaria

The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
General Description
- Streptomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside sulfate salt derived from Streptomyces griseus that shows antibacterial activity.
- It inhibits the initiation and causes misreading of rRNA in protein synthesis. This compound binds to the S12 protein of the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting peptide elongation and protein synthesis.
Application
- Streptomycin sulfate can be used to study the mechanisms of streptomycin resistance
- This compound can be used in laboratory applications combined with penicillin to inhibit bacterial contamination in in vitro cell culture
- Streptomycin sulfate shows antibiotic activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- This compound can be used as a protein synthesis inhibitor
- It acts against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria
- Streptomycin sulfate also shows a fungicide activity
- It can be used to remove nucleic acids from a biological extract
