General description

Type M agar is predominantly used in plant tissue culture. It is similar to agar, a polysaccharide complex with a backbone of alternating agarose and agaropectin molecules and extracted from red algae.

Application

Type M agar has been used as a component of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for culturing Arabidopsis thalania seeds. It has also been used in rooting media for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seeds.

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase-1 (NAT1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the biotransformation of arylamine and hydrazine substrates. It also has a role in the catabolism of the folate metabolite p-aminobenzoyl glutamate. Recent bioinformatics studies have correlated NAT1 expression with various cancer subtypes.
