Gellan gum for cell culture is a linear microbial exopolysaccharide used as an agar substitute and as a scaffold material in cell and tissue culture. It forms transparent, stable gels at low concentrations in the presence of cations, and is valued for biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity.
