It has been used in tissue culture media. It is used as an additive in culture media for the isolation of group D streptococci on Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar and for selection of transformed plant cells containing the neomycin phosphotransferase on a kanamycin-medium. It can also be used as a selection agent for cells transformed with kanamycin B resistance gene. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 100mg/mL. Kanamycin can be used as a selection agent in several types of isolation media.

General Description
• Kanamycin monosulfate is the sulfate salt form of kanamycin A
• It was isolated from Streptomyces kanamyceticus
• This compound inhibits translocation during protein biosynthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequence
Application
• Kanamycin monosulfate shows antibacterial activity. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as Mycoplasma species
• This compound is also involved in translating prokaryotic ribosomes
• In molecular biology experiments, it is commonly used to select and isolate transformants expressing the kanamycin resistance gene, and plants that have the NPT II (APH3) gene incorporated
