Application Notes
Carbenicillin is a derivative
of penicillin with
a
mode of action similar to benzylpenicillin. It is the most
commonly used antibiotic for the elimination of
Argobacterium
tumefaciens
due to its relatively low
toxicity for
a wide range of plant sp
ecies
. A concentration of 500 mg/
L is recommended to achieve
microbe toxicity; however, concentration
s up to 1000 mg/L have been reported
in plant tissue culture
literature.
