Carbenicillin disodium salt is a penicillin-derived, β-lactam antibiotic which inhibits the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a key component of the bacterial cell wall. Unlike most β-lactams, carbenicillin disodium is limited to primarily gram negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and common enteric species. In plants Carbenicillin was investigated for its effects on morphology and growth of Beta vulgaris, Capsicum annuum and Glehnia littoralis roots. Carbenicillin was noted to inhibit root elongation while promoting root branching in contrast to Ampicillin.
