Cayman Nonidet P-40 Assay Reagent (10%); Size- 500 Microliters

Germicidin A is a pyranone originally derived from S. viridochromogenes that acts as a reversible, autoregulative inhibitor of spore germination and hyphal elongation in the genus Streptomyces at concentrations as low as 200 pM.^, During germination, spores of Streptomyces excrete germicidin A along with other germicidin homologs, which inhibit germination of its own arthrospores.^, At higher concentrations, germicidin A can inhibit the porcine Na⁺/K⁺-activated ATPase (ID₅₀ = 100 µM) and prevent the germination of the cress L. sativum.
