Specimens

Fascinate students with some of the simplest light-producing organisms

This large culture collection includes the specimens presented most often in university textbooks

Organisms with Characteristics of Two Kingdoms

Basidiomycete. Inky-capped mushroom. Jar culture. Incubation temperature 30°C. YM/rabbit dung agar growth medium.

Water mold and fish parasite. Demonstrates sporangia and oospores. Grows on wheat seed, cucumber seed, or hemp seed in water environment. Reproduces sexually and asexually. Incubation temperature 25°C.

Cell walls made of cellulose; feeds by extending hyphae into host's tissue.

Specially Prepared “Real-Life” Combinations
The world is teeming with a wide variety of microlife, making studying samples of pond water complicated especially for the beginning student. To lessen the confusion, WARD’S has prepared different culture mixes that reflect protist combinations that occur in the real world, yet eliminates the hundreds of other life-forms found in a collected sample. Comes with a dichotomous key and either the Working with Algae or the Working with Protozoa manual. Supplied in a single jar.

Contents: Amphidinium, Coccolithophora, Dunaliella, Ectocarpus, and Prorocentrum.

Taking their name from the bluish pigment that most of these organisms share, each jar contains a broad sample of several types of cyanobacteria.
