摘要
Agar, a phycocolloid obtained commercially from species of Gelidium and Gracilaria, has been known for several centuries; its earliest industrial application was in the preparation of solid microbiological media. The numerous techniques available for the purification of agar affect the characteristics of bacterial-grade agar. The availability of agarose, that fraction of agar with the lowest possible charge, has enhanced the utilzation of this phycocolloid. The process of gelation of agarose is discussed and the applications of agarose gels in different types of chromatography are summarized. Agarose has many and diverse important applications in biotechnology. These uses, and newly-developed ones, can be expected to increase the demands for high-quality agarose in the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology.
