Broad spectrum, cell culture antibiotic that is non toxic to viruses and mammalian cells at antibacterial levels. Inhibits growth of gram positive and negative bacteria, and mycoplasma. Inhibits normal protein synthesis by binding to L6 protein of 50S ribosomal subunit. Useful antibiotic for Baculovirus expression systems since mutations in rplF prevent Gentamycin from binding.
