Dermo is a disease that can cause severe mortality in bivalves like the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria) in the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. There are synthetic agar products available for media and culturing purposes, but some are toxic to certain fungi and orchid seed species. Silica gel is nearly harmless, which is why you find it in food products.
The Molecular Ecology Lab uses agarose gels to separate chunks of DNA from orchid-fungal microbiomes and fungal endobacteria DNA that later can be sequenced and identified using an online DNA database. In leather products and foods like pepperoni, the lack of moisture can limit the growth of mold and reduce spoilage. Where will the funds come from to cover this extra unexpected cost? Once saturated, you can drive the moisture off and reuse silica gel by heating it above 300 degrees F (150 C). Agar and agar products are the Leathermans of the science world. Vegetarians and vegans use agar as a substitute for gelatin, an animal-based product. » Blog Archive Restrictions in Seaweed Agar-vate Scientists. Agar's Other Wonders. Bivalve Disease Culturing. Agar is also found in everyday products outside the lab. In the 2000s, the nation harvested 14, 000 tons per year.
Agarose gels also allowed them to discover the presence of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and another non-native oyster (Saccostrea) in Panama, and to look for pathogenic slime molds (Labyrinthula) associated with seagrasses. Just like grandma used to make Jell-O desserts with fruit artfully arranged on top or floating in suspended animation within a mold, scientists use agar the same way. Silica gel is essentially porous sand. Seaweed gel used in laboratories. Scientists at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) use agar and agarose, an agar-based material, in a variety of ways. Synthetic agarose products used for making DNA gels also have pros and cons – cons being that acrylamide (powder or solution form) is a neurotoxin, bubbles can form in gels causing unreliable DNA separation during electrophoresis, there's a much longer wait time for the gel to set and be ready for use, and the synthetic form is often more expensive than agarose. Here are just a few ecological and conservation studies that could be impacted by agar limitations: Orchid Cultivation and Microbiome Assay. How We Use Agar to Answer Ecological Questions. Because agar suspends materials, aids in nutrient delivery and creates an air-tight decomposition free barrier around the culture materials, it's an obvious addition to the RFTM product. Scientists, managers and policy makers could be facing some tough decisions as the economic impacts of 'red gold' restrictions trickle through the research ecosystem.
Without a substitute, researchers will be forced to buy agar at double or triple the original projected amount, but with such strict unprecedented harvesting limitations the price could get higher.

Little packets of silica gel are found in all sorts of products because silica gel is a desiccant -- it adsorbs and holds water vapor. They've also used agarose gels for DNA studies looking at the genetic variation in native smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) in nutrient pollution studies and genetic variation in populations of the invasive common reed (Phragmites australis).
Powdered agar is enriched with nutrients, mixed with water, heated and poured into petri dishes and slants, test tubes placed at an angle, and allowed to cool and solidify at room temperature. Last week Nature magazine published a news piece about how supplies of agar, a research staple in labs around the world, are dwindling. If a bottle of vitamins contained any moisture vapor and were cooled rapidly, the condensing moisture would ruin the pills. These serve as a growth medium and a nutrient-rich food source for culturing NAOCC's 500 fungal species. Agar is a gelatinous material from red seaweed of the genus Gelidium, and is referred to as 'red gold' by those within the industry. You will find little silica gel packets in anything that would be affected by excess moisture or condensation. From the latin for seaweed crossword clue.
