Antibiotics/selective agents

Used in the selection of orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase mutants of S. cerivisiae. Winstof, F. et al., Genetics, 107, 179 (1984).

5-Fluorouracil, a pyrimydine analogue, is an antineoplastic agent that acts as an antimetabolite to uracil. After intra-cellular conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it interferes with the synthesis of DNA by blocking the conver-sion of…

6-Mercaptopurine is an antineoplastic agent that acts as an antimetabolite. It is an analogue of the natural purines hypoxanthine and adenine. After the intracellular conversion of mercaptopurine to active nucleotides, it appears to exhibit a…

8-Hydroxyquinoline

Acyclovir inhibits viral DNA synthesis by selective interaction with two distinct viral proteins. Cellular uptake and initial phosphorylation are facilitated by thymidine kinase. Cellular enzymes convert the monophosphate to acyclovir…

Used as antimicrotubule herbicide for the production of doubled haploid plants from anther-derived maize callus.Theor. Appl. Genet. 81: 205-211, 1991

Amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium mixed in a ratio of 5:1. Amoxicillin is an inhibitor of bacterial cell wall synthesis. It inhibits the crosslinking of peptidoglycan by binding and inactivating of transpeptidases. High activity…

Inhibitor of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Amoxicillin inhibits the crosslinking of peptidoglycan by binding and inactivating of transpeptidases. High activity against gram-negative bacteria such as Agrobacterium species. Sensitive to beta-lactamase

Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal antibioticum produced by Streptomyces nodosus. It appears mainly by interfering with the permeability of the cell membrane of sensitive fungi and yeasts by binding to sterols.

Inhibitor of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Amoxicillin inhibits the crosslinking of peptidoglycan by binding and inactivating of transpeptidases. High activity against gram-negative bacteria such as Agrobacterium species.Sensitive to beta-lactamase.

Apramycin is an aminoglycoside antibioticum and has a bactericidal action against many gram-negative bac-teri-a. Apramycin is a structurally unique antibioticum that contains a bicyclic sugar moiety and a monosubstituted deoxystreptamine.…

Atrazine is an inhibitor of photosynthesis by blocking the electron transport due to binding of the Qb protein in the thylakoid mem-brane.
