Volvox globator is a species of colonial green algae that forms spherical colonies of cells.

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.

Yeast strains are ideal for genetic study because they are easy to grow and maintain, their life cycle is complete in approximately one week, and you can arrest different stages of the life cycle by growing it on different types of media.

A collection of some of the strains of Escherichia coli needed to grow various coliphages (available separately).
