Description

General description

Nucleoside antibiotic that specifically inhibits protein synthesis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Suitable for selection of cells carrying plasmids conferring blasticidin resistance. Blasticidin resistance is conferred by the blasticidin S deaminase genes (bsr from Bacillus cereus or BSD from Aspergillus terreus), whose products convert blasticidin S to a non-toxic deaminohydroxy derivative.
