Blasticidin S HCl 10mg/mL, 10 x 1 mL

Blasticidin S HCl is a nucleoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces Griseochromogenes which inhibits protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Resistance is conferred by expression of either one of two Blasticidin S deaminase genes: BSD from Aspergillus Terreus or bsr from Bacillus Cereus. These deaminases convert Blasticidin S to a nontoxic deaminohydroxy derivative.
