Re: [DIYbio] Re: Seaweed shortage will impact agar prices

OK I'll bite. Can I have a link to growing cultures on BC though - do I simply grow the BC in a petri shape or blend before pouring into the petridish? My initial reservation is the porosity of the BC might make colonies less nicely defined. But hopefully I can give it a good crack and try a number of options.

Also RE:capillary electrophoresis.
I looked into this a couple of months ago and the literature trail for using agarose filled capillaries seemed to go dead after the late 80s - there seemed to be suggestions that getting the agarose to bind to the inside walls of the capillary was an issue. I suppose DNA moving in the gap between the gel and the capillary wall might prevent the formation of a clear band?

A 2004 review of different polymers used for DNA capillary electrophoresis:

There's an article on g.xylinus cellulose matrix used as growth medium, and it showed much higher bacterial survival rate than agar agar.
And no inhibition.
