Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic commonly used in molecular biology to select cells that have been successfully transformed with a plasmid containing a kanamycin resistance gene. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which is lethal to most bacteria.
CAS Number: 25389-94-0
Applications of Kanamycin Solution
Plasmid Selection: Kanamycin resistance genes are often included in plasmid vectors. By adding kanamycin to the growth medium, only cells containing the plasmid will survive.
Gene Expression Studies: Kanamycin can be used to induce gene expression in certain systems.
Bacterial Culture: In some cases, kanamycin can be used as an antibiotic to suppress bacterial growth in cultures
