Alkali Scientific Cycloheximide, 5 G

Supplier: Alkali Scientific CYC004CP
Cycloheximide is an antifungal and protein synthesis inhibitor widely used in microbiology and laboratory research. It works by blocking translation in eukaryotic ribosomes, preventing the production of proteins necessary for fungal growth. This selective action allows it to be used in culture media to suppress molds and yeasts while permitting bacterial growth. Cycloheximide is commonly included in selective agar formulations, environmental monitoring media, and research protocols where fungal contamination must be controlled. It is also used in molecular and cellular biology studies to investigate protein synthesis and cellular responses to translational inhibition under controlled experimental conditions.
