Description

• Gibco™ Antibiotic-Antimycotic is used to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination
• Solution contains 10,000 units/mL of penicillin, 10,000 µg/mL of streptomycin, and 25 µg/mL of Gibco Amphotericin B
• The antibiotics penicillin and streptomycin prevent bacterial contamination of cell cultures due to their effective combined action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
• Amphotericin B prevents fungal contamination of cell cultures due to its inhibition of multi-cellular fungus and yeast
• Penicillin was originally purified from the fungus Penicillium and acts by interfering directly with the turnover of the bacteria cell wall and indirectly by triggering the release of enzymes that further alter the cell wall
• Streptomycin was originally purified from Streptomyces griseus and acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and death in susceptible bacteria
• Store at -5°C to -20°C
