Protists - Living Material
Live specimens are used for a wide variety of studies including studying the physiological effects of drugs on a specimen’s heartbeat and temperature on metabolism, the locomotion of microscopic organisms, and studying plant respiration, photosynthesis, plosmolysis, and more. Algal cultures form colonies of cells that are extremely easy to visualize for better understanding of cell walls and plastids, and many live specimens reproduce rapidly for quick turnover between successive tests.

Dictyostelium discoideum, Demonstration Plate
Cellular slime mold. Demonstrates amoeboid state, pseudoplasmodial state, and fruiting body, or sorocarp. Found in woodland soil in decomposing vegetation where bacteria are abundant. Incubation temperature 25°C. Plate cultures grown with Enterobacteria as food source; freeze-dried cultures include food source.
Characterized by an amoeboid stage (lacking cell walls) and a fungus-like reproductive structure.
