General description

Agar or Type E agar is a thermo-reversible, polysaccharide gelling agent. Structurally it consists of two main fractions about 70% of agarose and 30% of agaropectin. The gelling properties of agar comes from the agarose, the high gel strength backbone consists of a linear polymer of 3-linked β-D-galactose and 4-linked 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose (LA) repeating units.

Application

Agar has been used as reagent for the following studies:

Plant cell culture studies.
As medium supplement for the growth of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) and transgenic seeds.
For the solidification of culture medium of cork oak somatic embryos.
to examine its effect on metal(loid) sensitivity of the Arabidopsis thaliana metal-hypersensitive mutants

Agar suspension culture may be used for the analysis of cell transformation of palyoma virus. It might have been used for incubation of single antibody-forming cell to investigate the plaque formation.
