"3B torso model"

Freshwater; unbranched filaments with cylindrical- to slightly barrel-shaped cells; shows the characteristic H-pieces upon fragmentation of the filament.

Canadian Customers:
CFIA and PHAC regulations require customers to submit a completed inspection checklist and signed statement of facilities compliance before receiving certain cultures. A customer service representative will contact you if documentation is required.

Oscillatoria is a genus of filamentous green algae that moves by sliding filaments back and forth against each other.

Freshwater. Filamentous; H-shaped cell walls. Soil-water medium.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

This filamentous cyanobacteria is comprised of heterocysts and akinetes that are terminally located on the filament.

Freshwater. Filamentous. Trichomes radiating from basil heterocysts. Basic culture solution.

Shipped in a form that provides the best quality specimen. Most are supplied in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars.

Freshwater. Filamentous. Unbranched trichome, thinly sheathed; oscillating movement. Basic culture solution.

Shipped in a form that provides the best quality specimen. Most are supplied in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars.

Marine. Filamentous; unbranched thallus. Erdschreiber’s medium.

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

Freshwater. Colonial; net-like structure with multinucleated cells. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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

Freshwater. Unicellular; heart-shaped cell. Soil-water medium.

Characterized by a lack of rigid cellulosic walls, instead these organisms have pellicles made of protein. They store paramylon instead of starch.

Marine. Unicellular; contains same pigments as other Golden Algae but contains haptonema, unique to Haptophyceae. Coccoid, from coccoliths. Marine medium. Characterized by golden yellow plastids.

Axenic culture. Food organism. Tetrahymena medium.

Characterized by cilia; nearly all possess two types of nuclei.

Anabaena is a genus of filamentous, un-branched Cyanobacteria consisting of bead-like cells and enlarged spores or heterocysts.

This colonial cyanobacteria is structured as several cells bound together in a gelatinous "mucilaginous sheath".

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

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Filamentous. Produces zoospores. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.
