Hygromycin B is an antibiotic commonly used in molecular biology and biotechnology. It is derived from the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus and acts as a selective agent in cell culture.

Often used for the selection of cells that have been genetically engineered to express a hygromycin resistance gene. This gene is typically included in plasmids or vectors used in molecular cloning and genetic engineering. Cells that successfully integrate and express the hygromycin resistance gene become resistant to the inhibitory effects of Hygromycin B.

Hygromycin B is available in various forms, including a liquid solution. Liquid solution is commonly used to establish and maintain stable cell lines, especially during the development of transgenic cells and the generation of genetically modified organisms. The liquid form allows for easy incorporation into cell culture media.
