I need some advice...
I am desiring to specifically inhibit gram negatives, gram positives and
fungi in soil in order to study the relative contributions each make to
the degradation of chemicals.
Currently, I'm planning to use streptomycin/gentamicin against G-,
penicillin/erythromycin against G+ and cyclohexamide against fungi.
However, I've seen several papers using streptomycin as a general
prokaryotic inhibitor.
Does anyone have any insight that might help me. Also, what a good
concentrations (µg/mL) to get good inhibition, and how long will
inhibition last? How often should more antibiotics be re-added to the
system?
Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions!!!
