Alkali Scientific Cycloheximide, 25 G

Supplier: Alkali Scientific CYC003CP
Cycloheximide is a widely used laboratory reagent that inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic organisms by blocking ribosomal function. This mechanism makes it particularly effective for suppressing fungal growth in microbiological media while allowing bacterial cultures to develop. It is commonly incorporated into selective media to prevent contamination by molds and yeasts during bacterial isolation procedures. In addition to its antifungal applications, cycloheximide is used in research studies examining cellular processes such as protein synthesis, gene expression, and metabolic regulation. Its ability to rapidly halt translation makes it a valuable tool in experimental biology and biochemical investigations.
