Isolated from human urinary tract and wound infections, this organism is identifiable by its characteristic putrefactive odor.

This organism can be isolated from many human urinary tract infections, as well as polluted water and sewage. It is commonly identified by its distinctive grape-like smell (trimethylamine) or because it can turn the agar light green due to production of a blue pigment (pyocyanin).

All microbial cultures undergo an extensive quality control program prior to releasing for sale, so they are guaranteed for purity as well as for species.

This yellow, shiny organism is known to cause wound infections and more famously, toxic shock syndrome.

Lancefield group A, beta hemolysis. Sensitive to bacitracin. Causes strep throat, rheumatic fever, and scarlet fever.

Freshwater. Unicellular; large cells, with four flagella. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Demonstrates isogamous reproduction where gametes are similar in appearance and behavior. Make lectures and labs on protist reproduction clearer with our specially selected cultures that illustrate various reproductive phenomona.

Freshwater. Unicellular; homothallic strain. Basic culture solution. Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Marine. Unicellular; small, centric cells. Marine medium.Characterized by shells (tests) made of silica, in two parts.
