Potent Antibiotic for Selection

Bleocin is a DNA-cleaving glycopeptide that exerts its toxic effect on prokaryotes and eurkaryotes at low concentrations. This product is a single component of Bleomycin family group A, intercalates between DNA base pairs, and catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen to free radicals that can break DNA strands and inhibit further DNA synthesis. It is also considered to be most toxic to cells in the G2 phase of cell division.

Since this product is offered as a single component rather than a mixture, it has the advantage of a consistency potency that leads to reliable and reproducible results.
