"Ward's Science"

Freshwater, Unicellular; pennate, with bilateral symmetry. Diatom or basic medium.

Characterized by shells (tests) made of silica, in two parts.

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

Live Cultures are supplied with media in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars. Fast delivery is available directly from our laboratory. Please specify a delivery date.

Each culture shipment is prepared in our laboratories and includes the "Working with Algae & Cyanobacteria" manual which contains detailed instructions for subculturing and use.

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.

Marine; Small Motile Cells with the Transverse Furrow Located Near the Apex.

Freshwater. Unicellular. Soil-water medium. Characterized by two flagella (one inside a groove at right angles to the other); most also have tests made of cellulose and are encrusted with silica.

Marine. Filamentous; freely branched. Erdschreiber’s medium.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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

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

This species of freshwater algae is commonly used for research on photosynthesis.
