Gellan GumGellan gum, an anionic polysaccharide, is employed as a replacement for agar in various clinical bacteriological and plant tissue culture media. Its structural composition comprises a repeating tetrasaccharide unit, including two D glucose residues, one L rhamnose residue, and one D glucuronic acid residue.

Gellan gum, an anionic polysaccharide, is employed as a replacement for agar in various clinical bacteriological and plant tissue culture media. Its structural composition comprises a repeating tetrasaccharide unit, including two D-glucose residues, one L-rhamnose residue, and one D-glucuronic acid residue.

It is an excellent alternative for nutrient media in plant tissue culture, yielding a clearer and more transparent gel than agar. Additionally, it requires only half the concentration of agar typically used in tissue culture media.

The Benefits of Gellan Gum

  • Easy to use
  • Acts as a solid support for the growth and development of explants
  • Allows the absorption of nutrients by the plant cells
  • The transparency of the gel allows one to clearly see the development of roots or contamination from the start.
  • Cost-effective
  • Solidifying agents play a crucial role in tissue culture media by providing the necessary support to hold cells, tissues, or explants in place and ensure they receive optimal nutrients for growth and development.

How To Use Gellan Gum

Follow the steps below to prepare 1 liter of tissue culture media using PCT’s Gellan Gum:

  1. Take a beaker and add 800 ml of distilled water to it.
  2. To the water add PCT’s MS Media (or alternative media) 4.54 grams, 30 grams of sugar, and PPM™ (generally 1-2 ml/L).
  3. Make up the volume of the media to 1000ml. 
  4. Adjust the pH of the media between 5.4-5.8.
  5. Add 3-4 g/L of PCT’s Gellan Gum to the media and keep stirring.
  6. Autoclave the medium for 20 minutes at 15 psi and 121℃.

Your media is ready!

Book Reading Wife Approved
Size: Standard (18-Inch), Color: Sage Green
I purchased this for my wife who reads quite a bit and she absolutely loves it. She said it feels soft, is the right size for her, and makes book reading more comfortable for her. I call it a win.

Heaven sent
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
My back suddenly decided to show me who's the boss. This reading pillow has been a God send! It is substantial without being too hard, soft enough to be comfortable without being too soft, absolutely no lumps! The outside cover is removable to allow for machine washing and is so soft to the touch. There is a handle on the back that makes it easy to move. This has allowed me to be able to sit upright, much appreciated!

Huge, super soft, cozy pillow!

This pillow is awesome! As a plus size person who can't sleep laying flat, the size and support level is perfect. This pillow is huge! The quality is very high, the stitching is precise, and the sage green material is soft and cozy. Great value for the price! I highly recommend this reading pillow!
