Streptomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, that inhibits protein synthesis.

Strain RB1 shows enhanced susceptibility to streptomycin as the concentration of CV in the growth medium increases. As the CV concentration in the growth medium increases, both cytochrome aa3 levels and streptomycin susceptibility increase. Cytochrome aa3 is necessary for accumulation of streptomycin by B. subtilis^[1]. Streptomycin influences tRNA selection. Streptomycin resistance mutations generally map to protein S12 and most of these variants exhibit increased levels of discrimination in the tRNA selection process^[2].

* Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture and light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
