Penicillin G potassium salt is a widely studied form of penicillin used extensively in microbiological research for its antibacterial activity. Researchers utilize this compound to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial growth inhibition, particularly in gram-positive organisms, where it disrupts cell wall synthesis. In molecular biology, it serves as a selective agent to maintain the growth of penicillin-resistant strains of bacteria or to ensure the purity of bacterial cultures by eliminating contaminating susceptible strains. This potassium salt form offers enhanced solubility, making it suitable for use in various aqueous media, including growth media and experimental buffers. Additionally, its role in the study of bacterial resistance mechanisms is crucial, as it helps in understanding how resistance genes are transferred and expressed within microbial communities.
