Corning® 5 g Carbenicillin Disodium Salt, Powder

Carbenicillin is recommended as a substitute for ampicillin at the same concentration in molecular biology applications. Both ampicillin and carbenicillin are semi-synthetic penicillins related to penicillin. Carbenicillin is penicillin with a carboxyl and benzyl group, whereas ampicillin is an aminopenicillin. Carbenicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis in peptidoglycan crosslinking because it is a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics.
