Plant Gel is the brand name for the
Gellan Gum of Marine Hydrocolloids. Gellan Gum is a High
Molecular weight (formula weight approximately 500,000) Poly
saccharide gum produced by fermentation of a carbohydrate by
pseudomonas Elodea, purified, dried and powdered.
Gellan Gum will disperse in cold water. Dispersion is aided by
use of warm/hot water. Gellan gum can be used as a replacement
for Agar Agar for many applications. Plant Gel can be used for making clear
gel, with rigidity, thermal stability, compatible with natural
additives. Hence ideal for preparation of nutrient media
for most microbial application and plant tissue culture
work.
