Kanamycin A Sulphate monohydrate
C18H36N4O11.H2SO4 .H2O= 600.6
plant cell culture tested
Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and has a bactericidal action
against many gram-negative bacteria. Aminoglycosides are taken up into
sensitive bacterial cells by an active transport proces. Within the cell they
bind to the 30S and to some extent to the 50S subunits of the bacterial
ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis and generating errors in the
transcripton of the genetic code. Kanamycin is used as a selective agent
for the incorporation of the NPT II in 2005 en 2005 (APH3’) gene in plant
tissue.
