Lasalocid
Encyclopedia
Lasalocid is an antibacterial agent and a coccidiostat
, which is produced by strains of Streptomyces
lasaliensis. It is the drug in the feed additive called Bovatec.
Lasalocid is able to make neutral complexes with monovalent and divalent cations and transport them through apolar phase (including lipid bilayer membranes). It can transport also big organic cations like dopamine.
Horses and dogs are very susceptible to the toxic effects of Lasalocid, and it should not be administered.

Streptomyces
Streptomyces is the largest genus of Actinobacteria and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. Over 500 species of Streptomyces bacteria have been described. As with the other Actinobacteria, streptomycetes are gram-positive, and have genomes with high guanine and cytosine content...
