Application


  • An engineered Streptomyces hygroscopicus aph 7 gene mediates dominant resistance against hygromycin B in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: This study underscores the genetic engineering applications of Hygromycin B resistance genes, facilitating algae research and potentially biofuel production, illustrating the broad utility of Hygromycin B in genetic engineering and selection protocols (Berthold P et al., 2002).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of Action: The product acts by inhibiting protein synthesis by inducing the misreading of the m-RNA template in the prokaryote, with the potency to inhibit translation.

Antimicrobial Spectrum: Hygromycin B acts against bacteria, fungi and higher eukaryotic cells.
