What is Bacteriological Agar Market?
Bacteriological agar is a water-soluble colloidal extract and a cell wall component obtained from certain species of marine red algae including Gelidium, Pterocladia, and Gracilaria. Bacteriological agar has been used as a component of ATCC agar for Escherichia coli culture, as one of the experimental diet feed for Atlantic salmon fry, to study the protein and lysine requirements for maintenance and for tissue accretion, and as a component of yeast extract peptone dextrose medium, Luria broth medium and synthetic complete drop out the medium for Escherichia coli culture. It is primarily used as a culture medium for microorganisms. It is also used as an emulsifier, carrier, stabilizer, lubricant, and laxative disintegrant in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Market Leaders & Development Strategies
In 2015, Thermo Fisher Scientific acquired Remel Inc., a company that specializes in microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics. Remel offers a range of products, including bacteriological agar, which is used to cultivate and grow bacteria for research and diagnostic purposes.
Companies have developed automated systems for the preparation of bacteriological agar, which can save time and reduce the risk of contamination. These systems can measure and dispense precise amounts of agar and other ingredients and can be programmed to prepare multiple batches at once.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating bacteriological agar as a food additive. In addition, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the use of bacteriological agar in meat and poultry products.
