Kanamycin

Manufactured by Zymo Research
Sourced in United States

Kanamycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. It is commonly used as a selective agent in molecular biology and genetic engineering applications to identify and isolate bacterial cells that have been successfully transformed with a plasmid or vector containing a kanamycin resistance gene.

Difco yeast nitrogen base without amino acids and ammonium sulfate (YNB), Bacto peptone, Bacto yeast extract, Luria Broth (LB), LB agar, dextrose, and galactose were obtained from BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company). PBS tablets were obtained from VWR. BSA was obtained from Cell Signaling Technologies. kanamycin monosulfate and ampicillin were obtained from Sigma Chemicals. G418 (sc-29065A) used for yeast integration selections was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotech. Amino acid dropout media was obtained from Takara Bio (product #630400–#630431). 5-FOA powder and Frozen-EZ transformation kit for yeast were obtained from Zymo Research.
E. coli strains were selected on LB agar plates with 50 mg/L kanamycin, 50 mg/L ampicillin, and grown in LB liquid media with the appropriate antibiotic. Yeast 10x drop out (DO) supplement was prepared from Takara as a synthetic complete supplement with desired dropout component omitted. S. cerevisiae strains were selected on YNB-DO (0.17% yeast nitrogen base, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, 2% dextrose, and 1x DO) agar or on YPAD (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 80 mg/L adenine hemisulfate, and 2% dextrose) agar. For selections, plates were supplemented with 200 mg/L G418 or 400 mg/L 5-FOA. Yeast were grown in selective YNB-DO media or in YPAD media.

For general tests with kanamycin, tetracycline (tetracycline hydrochloride, Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA), chloramphenicol, hygromycin B (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), gentamicin, polymyxin B sulfate, ampicillin, penicillin G (penicillin G sodium salt), and carbenicillin (Bioline, London, UK), we used gradient antibiotic plates (Szybalski and Bryson, 1952 (link)). For the determination of minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for ampicillin, penicillin G, and carbenicillin broth macrodilution method was used.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
