Default Antifungal compound

Hi
Sometime we got fungal contemination in cell culture flasks, so what is the best antifungal compound used in cell culture media to avoid cell contemination and what is its concentration used.

best regards
aftab ahmad

Smile Re: Antifungal compount

Dear Aftab,

hello how are you?

That is a good question. We use an Antibiotic / Antimycotic (anti-fungal) solution made up of Penicillin-Streptomycin.

Amphotericin B (an antimycotic) would be an antifungal. We add this to all our cell culture solutions and never have problems with fungus in cell culture.

Cheers!

Well i think that streptomycin has antibacterial action not the antifungal action, so which drug we must use as an antifungal agent in cell culture media.

Hello Aftab,

Sorry! Actually antimycotics (anti-fungals) include Polyene antimycotics such as:
Amphotericin B
Natamycin 46
Rimocidin
Filipin 35 Carbons binds to cholesterol (toxic)
Nystatin

If you purchase an antibiotic / antimycotic cell culture mix (or make it yourself) you should be ok!

Cheers!
