Hygromycin B solution is used in molecular and cellular biology research as a selective agent for the isolation of genetically modified cells containing the hygromycin resistance gene. It operates by inhibiting protein synthesis by affecting the translocation step in bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes, which makes it a useful tool for the selection and maintenance of stably transfected cells. In plant biology, hygromycin B solution is used to select for transgenic plants that have been engineered to carry the hygromycin resistance gene, facilitating studies in plant genetics and crop improvement. The compound is also valuable in the study of ribosomal function and antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Moreover, hygromycin B solution is used in the research of gene expression regulation and vector development, as it allows for the efficient screening of cells that have integrated foreign DNA into their genomes.
