Product Specifications
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
