Agar, ash 2.0-4.5%
Application
Agar has been used:as a component of solid N6 complete mediumin modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for culturing germinating lentil and faba bean seeds and in the regeneration of transgenic cauliflower and broccoli explantsas a component of agar mixture to simulate a vascular phantom in carotid vessel
Biochem/physiol Actions
Agar exists in left-handed helical conformation and aggregation of hexagonal fibers leads to gel formation. The hydrophobicity of the disaccharides determines its gelling property and solubility. Agar is a major component of the microbial solid medium. It has applications in tissue engineering, pharmaceutics and in cell encapsulation.
General description
