Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Resistance of paper to mould
French term or phrase: gélose en branche
From a standard relating to a method of testing the resistance of paper to mould.
The strains of bacteria using in the test are to be preserved as follows:
"Les souches sont livrées par la mycothèque sur milieu artificiel. Pour les conserver, après un mois, les repiquer sur carotte; à la fin du mois suivant, les repiquer sur les milieux artificiels définis ci-dessous [...] : flocons d'avoine 50 g, gélose en branche 20 g, eau distillée q.s.p. 1000 ml"

Why porridge is used for this, I don't know ;-).
"Gélose" is apparently "agar", but what's the correct term for "en branche" in this context? Stick agar?
If it helps, a footnote says that a powdered form can be used if it gives equivalent results.

strand of agar-agar / strip of agar-agar
Explanation:
I think you could say 'strand' or even 'strip' here.

# A setting agent obtained from seaweed. Widely used in Asia, for it sets without refrigeration. Available in powder form from chemists or in packets from Chinese grocers or health food stores. It is also sold in ***strands***. Gelatine can be substituted, but texture will be different and the amount used varies.

# Also known as kanten. Available as ***strips or flakes***. It is a seaweed. We use it in flake form. It should not be stirred until it has softened in cool liquid and then brought slowly to a simmer. Don't boil. Once it simmers, stir occasionally until it appears to have dissolved. Agar-Agar "sets up" at room temperature. It is an excellent substitute for gelatin (an animal product).
