Does streptomycin kill gram negative bacteria?
It kills both gram negative and positive
What antibiotics are made with streptomyces griseus?
S. griseus produces antibiotic, streptomycin, and it is useful against gram negative bacteria. Streptomycin and its relatives are considered reserve antibiotics for resistant bacterial strands because they can be neurotoxic and nephrotoxic.
How does streptomycin kill bacterial cells?
Streptomycin is a protein synthesis inhibitor. It binds to the S12 Protein of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with the binding of formyl-methionyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit. This prevents initiation of protein synthesis and leads to death of microbial cells. Humans have structurally different ribosomes from bacteria, thereby allowing the selectivity of this antibiotic for bacteria. However at low concentrations Streptomycin only inhibits growth of the bacteria by inducing prokaryotic ribosomes to misread mRNA. It is an antibiotic that inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is a therefore a useful broad spectrum antibiotic
Why is lactic bacteria bad?
It is bacteria. Bacteria can be bad. It is sometimes beneficial but most people probably just think of it as bad.
Is the rod shaped bacteria good bacteria or bad bacteria?
No such thing as "bad bacteria" and "good bacteria" because they are all one and the same (though not literally) and can be affected by the same thing if the "bad" bacteria is targeted. A rod-shaped bacterium can be any bacterial species, "good" or "bad."
Does streptomycin kill gram negative bacteria?
It kills both gram negative and positive
What are antibiotics produced from branched bacteria?
streptomycin is produced from streptomyces species which it characterised by filamentous shape
Why does streptomycin kill the bacteria and not us?
Streptomycin binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein production by the bacteria. Human beings are are not affected because our ribosomes have a 40S subunit and a 60S subunit, no 30S subunit.

What is the difference between penicilin and streptomycin?
Peniciilin is derived from Penicillium chrysogenum and is active against Gram-positive bacteria. It connects peptidoglycan strands by irreversibly interacting with transpeptidase and prohibits the last cell wall synthesis. Streptomycin-sulfate is derived from Streptomyces griseusan and is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is active against Gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacteria and inhibits initiation of the protein biosynthesis. Penicillin and Streptomycin are often used together.

Why stReptomycin spelling is mycin?
Streptomycin is an antibiotic drug. A mycinrefers to the particular family of antibiotics that includes Streptomycin antibiotics.
What is the source of streptomycin?
streptomycin s ismade from fungus named coccus
What is effect of streptomycin on b-subtilis?
streptomycin ihibits growth of b. subtilis
Is bacteria good or bad for you?
Bacteria is good and bad for you.
What is bad bacteria and what is good bacteria?
bad bacteria can get you sick and ruin your immune system....and good bacteria helps protect you from the bad bacteria trying to ruin your immune system!!!
Why is lactic bacteria bad?
It is bacteria. Bacteria can be bad. It is sometimes beneficial but most people probably just think of it as bad.
