== '''This is my Sandbox for practicing my edits for the Wikipedia page Gentamicin. This is a work in progress and will be started and stopped at weird sections until ready for publication.'''

Biosynthesis
Mechanism

The reaction mechanism of biosynthesis for Gentamicin is analogous to other aminoglycoside antibiotics. Since Gentamicin is derived from the species Micromonospora, the backbone for this antibiotic is the amino cyclitol deoxystreptamine.

Gene Expression

The genes being expressed for this specific mechanism are largely unknown, but have been narrowed down to two genes where further research is required to identify the correct gene.
