DNA Gel Electrophoresis Issues - Bad Ladder Separation

... is perfectly clear, you have to be quite careful, but by swirling it in front of a light source (or window) you can check for the absence of granule and filaments that are transparent, but with a slightly different refraction index. Those are unmelted agarose granules that do not have the ...

The Fiber Disease

... example, Veiga et al. (254) found that the EPS produced by the two predominant species (Methanobacterium formicium and Methanosarcina mazeii) in granules (multispecies bacterial aggregates) from an anaerobic reactor had the same composition as the extracellular polymers found in the granules. ...
