PPM affects key Krebs cycle and electron transport chain enzymes. At optimal doses, Plant Preservative Mixture™,

 

 

It is an extremely effective preservative/biocide that does not affect in vitro germination , proliferation and callus regeneration. It only inhibits barterial, mycotical and fungal growth.

Despite the use of sterile techniques, contamination of plant cell and tissue cultures remains a persistent problem that can result in losses ranging from a small number of cultures to the loss of entire batches.

PPM™ prevents the germination of bacteria and fungus spores. It is heat stable and can therefore be autoclaved with commonly used antibiotic culture media.

PPM™ can, and should, be used as a standard ingredient in plant tissue culture media. In addition, it is less expensive comparedM™ has been primarily designed to inhibit contamination from microbes in the air and water or contamination from human contact, it can also – in many cases – be used to reduce endogenous contamination.
