Abstract

This invention relates to layers for photographic materials, which comprises a polysaccharide which is formed extracellularly by bacterial fermentation of glucose, maltose, sucrose or xylose, if appropriate in the presence of yeast, yeast hydrolysate or casein-hydrolysate, and with mono-, di- and/or tri-valent metal ions, forms gels having a solidification temperature between 24.degree. and 25.degree. C. Gellan gum has proved to be a particularly advantageous polysaccharide for use in the layers according to the invention.
