Tetracycline is employed in microbiological research to study bacterial behavior and genetics, as it serves as a selective agent in various culture media. Due to its broad-spectrum antibiotic properties, tetracycline is used in the development of recombinant DNA by allowing only the growth of bacteria that have been successfully transformed with tetracycline-resistance genes. In molecular biology, this chemical is used as a tool to control gene expression in a system known as the Tet-on and Tet-off gene expression system, which allows for the regulation of gene activity in experimental applications. Tetracycline is also involved in research to understand the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, providing insights into how bacteria evade the effects of antibiotics. Moreover, it is a standard reagent in the study of bacterial protein synthesis, as it binds to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting the addition of amino acids to the elongating peptide chain.
