Geneticin, also known as G-418, is an antibiotic used to select for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The optimal concentration for selection and maintenance must be determined for each cell line. For bacteria and algae, concentrations of 5µg/ml or less are recommended. Animal cells may require up to 300-500 µg/ml.  Cells can gain resistance to this antibiotic through the natural expression of two resistance genes found in certain bacterial strains or through transfection in eukaryotic cells.
