Tetracycline Hydrochloride is an antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis (elongation) by preventing the binding of amino-tRNA to ribosome. Tetracycline is for use in cell culture applications.
The tetracycline powder is used to make a stock solution at 5mg/ml in water. The working concentration for stringent plasmids is 10µg/ml and 50µg/ml for relaxed plasmids.
If dissolved in ethanol, the antibiotic solution need not be sterilized.
Magnesium ions are antagonists of tetracycline. Use media without magnesium salts (e.g. LB medium) for the selection of bacteria resistant to tetracycline.
