Description

A sulphated galactan from the red seaweeds (Gelidium spp.). The major gel-forming component agarose consisting of a linear chain of sequences of (1,3) linked β -D-galactopyranosyl units and (1,4 ) linkages to 3,6-anhydro-α-D-galactopyranosyl units. Gelation is via the formation of double helices.
Both Gelidium latifolium and Gelidium amansii are sources of both Agar (mixture of agarose and agaropectin) and Agarose. The images were kindly provided by Prof Mike Guiry from Cork who runs ‘The Seaweed Site’.
