Antimicrobials in Plant TissueCulture
Antibiotics (Antimicrobials)
•Bacteristatic–Inhibit bacterial growth; bacteria viable but“dormant”. Growth resumes in antibiotic-free medium.•Bactericidal –Lethal to bacteria; no subsequent growth inantibiotic-free medium•Antifungal (Antimycotics) –Fungistatic& Fungicidal•Broad-spectrum Antimicrobials –Inhibit or eliminatebacteria and fungi.•Antiviral –Inactivate virus
Ideally, Antibiotics in Plant TissueCulture are:
•StableBroad spectrum of activity•Unaffected by media pH or componentsLow chanceof bacterial resistance•InexpensiveLethal to microbe•Minimal side effects•(no phytotoxicity)Usable in combinations
