Answer» RIGHT choice is (d) Ion exchange chromatography The best explanation: STREPTOMYCIN is an antibiotic which is used to TREAT a number of bacterial infections. It is an extracellular product so they are removed by adsorption to ion exchange columns in chromatography. The period of operation is short and streptomycin sulfate is obtained in a single fraction with an OVERALL yield of approximately 60 percent at a purity of 400 to 600 UNITS per mg. |
