Product Information

• Name: Chlorotetracycline monohydrochloride, Antibiotic for Culture Media Use Only
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chlorotetracycline monohydrochloride is an antibiotic compound specifically designed for culture media use. It is derived from a naturally occurring tetracycline produced by the bacterium *Streptomyces aureofaciens*. As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, chlorotetracycline functions by inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. It binds to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, blocking the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal acceptor site, which effectively halts translational elongation.
