agar

, agar-agar (ag′ăr) (ag′ăr-ag′ăr) [Malay, gelatin]

1. A dried mucilaginous product obtained from certain species of algae, esp. of the genus Gelidium. Agar is unaffected by bacterial enzymes and therefore is widely used as a solidifying agent for bacterial culture media. It is used as a laxative because of its great increase in bulk on absorption of water. It is also used by vegetarians when recipes call for gelatin.

2. A culture medium containing agar.

3. A constituent of dental hydrocolloid impression materials.
