Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution is a 5 ml, 100x stock solution qualified to reduce the risks of bacterial contamination in cell culture. 1 ml of P/S is to be used for every 99 ml of medium. The solution is sterile filtered through a 0.2 μm membrane filter.
It consists of 10,000 units/ml of Penicillin and 10,000 μg/ml of Streptomycin in a saline solution.
Penicillin interferes with the final stages of synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, while streptomycin binds to the 30S subunit causing a misread.
