IT MAY BE EATEN AS A CEREAL SUBSTITUTE OR ADDED TO OTHER FOODS, OR IT MAY BE DISSOLVED IN HOT WATER & ALLOWED TO GEL BEFORE BEING TAKEN. HOWEVER, AGAR IS A RELATIVELY INEFFECTIVE BULK-FORMING AGENT IN THE USUAL DOSE OF 4 TO 16 G.

Culture Media
Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. (See all compounds classified as Culture Media.)
