Effect of Glucose, Peptone, and Salts on Streptomycin Activity.,

Abstract
Streptomycin is greatly influenced by the composition of the medium, the salt concn. being most significant. Glucose also has a certain inhibiting effect upon streptomycin activity. This is due to the specific nature of the organic N compounds in the medium and to the salt concn. The effect of salt is exerted not upon the streptomycin itself but upon the medium, which in turn influences the growth of the organism.
