General description
Agar is a polysaccharide consisting of β-
Application
Agar has been used:
- as a component of solid N6 complete medium
- in modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for culturing germinating lentil and faba bean seeds and in the regeneration of transgenic cauliflower and broccoli explants
- as 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.
