Protists - Living Material

Pink to bright rose color.
Characterized by cilia; nearly all possess two types of nuclei.

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.

Ideal for comparative study, the four cultures included in this set represent green algae's variety of physical morphologies.

Termite flagellates live in the intestine of Zootermopsis termites as symbiotic organisms. They can be easily isolated and observed.

Cellular slime mold. Demonstrates amoeboid state, pseudoplasmodial state, and fruiting body, or sorocarp.

Freshwater; elongated, biflagellate cells that form globular colonies; gelatinous sheath absent.

Freshwater. Colonial; colonies elliptical, made up of 16–32 cells. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Usually found in freshwater and mosses, this organism has a hard umbrella shaped shell or "test", out of which finger-like pseudopodia project.
