Carbenicillin Disodium, CulturePure is a carboxypenicillin bacteriolytic antibiotic and is routinely used in microbiology and plant biology as a selection agent to isolate resistant E. coli and transformed plants, respectively.
The compound interferes with peptidoglycan synthesis, thus it can also be used to study the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in the formation of cell walls, selection of ampr transformed cells and to study the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in cell wall biosynthesis. The carboxycillins are susceptible to degradation by β-lactamase enzymes.
Carbenicillin Disodium, CulturePure is soluble in water.
CulturePure products are uniquely designed for cell/plant culture applications. They have been carefully tested to make sure they do not exhibit toxicity against routine cell lines or plant cells.
