Carrageenan from Eucheuma striatum (Schmitz) in Media for Fungal and Yeast Cultures.

Fungi and yeasts were cultivated on media prepared from Eucheuma carrageenan. The cultures were found to compare well with those grown on agar media.

Carrageenan from Eucheuma striatum (Schmitz) in Bacteriological Media.

The use of carrageenan from the red alga Eucheuma striatum as a possible substitute for bacteriological agar was investigated. The carrageenan medium was compared with several commercially available media in terms of both their physical properties and the colony characteristics of 16 microorganisms grown on the media.
