Description

Cycloheximide is a protein synthesis inhibitor that has been used for the selective inhibition of bacteria in culture media. Cycloheximide inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This drug also causes a decrease in fatty acid content and an increase in carotenoid production. The type strain is ATCC 23585, and it's used for diagnostic purposes and as a control for biochemical properties. Cycloheximide is not active against Arthroderma or kidney bean bacteria.
