Extra Details:
Timentin is a suitable antibiotic for Agrobacterium counterselection and a mixture of two antibiotics: ticarcillin and clavulanic acid. Most wild Agrobacterium isolates have beta-lactamase activity which clavulanic acid exhibits activity towards. Many Agrobacterium isolates are highly susceptible to Timentin. Agrobacterium strains carrying the standard pBR beta-lactamase gene are also Timentin (clavulanic acid) susceptible. Timentin killing of Agrobacterium wild-type strains is three logs greater than with comparable doses of carbenicillin. In plant transformation experiments, 0.1mg/ml Timentin (15:1) is sufficient to counterselect Agrobacterium. The appropriate dose in tissue culture medium is 0.1 mg/ml (not 0.1 mg/liter) of 15:1 mixture or 0.2 mg/ml of 30:1 mixture. To improve efficacy (of any antimicrobial), solid media are best slightly dried before use. At these concentrations, Timentin exhibits no phytotoxicity to Arabidopsis root cultures.
