"VWR"

Bring your high school biology text to life with the algal cultures included in this set of 12 cultures commonly found in high-school textbooks.

Examples of eight different types of algae, grouped by the color of their plastids.

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: Chlamydomonas, Closterium, Pandorina, Peridinium, Spirogyra, Synedra, and Volvox.

Compiles Types Most Often Studied at the University Level

Marine. Macroalga; pink, coral-like appearance. Produces internal frame from calcium deposits. Collected.

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

Selaginella lepidophylla. Find out how plants survive desert conditions; this plant’s curled, dried, gray-brown fronds unfurl and turn green when placed in water. It is found in desert regions of the South and Southwest United States, and Central America. It is supplied in a plastic bag and comes with care instructions. Size: approximately 3".

Nymphoides aquatica. Dicot. The green tubercles that grow from this unique plant’s short roots store nutrients and look like bananas, giving the plant its common name. It is a floating plant that grows best in shallow water. It is easily reproduced from cuttings. Size: 4–6". Package of six.

Unless otherwise noted, plants are supplied in waterproof, plastic bags that keep plants fresh and healthy. Care instructions are included. Be sure to check with your state’s Department of Agriculture for any restrictions.

Vallisneria spiralis. Monocot. This fast-growing bottom-rooted plant has elongated, twisted green leaves with five parallel longitudinal veins. It grows well mixed with other plants. Size: 6–8". Package of 50.

Unless otherwise noted, plants are supplied in waterproof, plastic bags that keep plants fresh and healthy. Care instructions are included. Be sure to check with your state’s Department of Agriculture for any restrictions.

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

Lives in intestine of host — mealworms — as symbiotic organism. Culture of mealworms provided.
