Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Unicellular; lunate. Proteose agar.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Unicellular; triangular desmid. Basic culture solution. Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Marine. Unicellular; brackish, centric cells. Marine medium.

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

This filamentous cyanobacteria is comprised of heterocysts and akinetes that are terminally located on the filament.

Freshwater. Filamentous. True branching, dimorphic structure. Basic culture solution.

Shipped in a form that provides the best quality specimen. Most are supplied in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars..

Marine. Filamentous; unbranched thallus. Erdschreiber’s medium.

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

Freshwater. Unicellular; heart-shaped cell. Soil-water medium.

Characterized by a lack of rigid cellulosic walls, instead these organisms have pellicles made of protein. They store paramylon instead of starch.

Marine. Unicellular. Erdschreiber’s medium.

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

Marine. Unicellular; contains same pigments as other Golden Algae but contains haptonema, unique to Haptophyceae. Coccoid, from coccoliths. Marine medium. Characterized by golden yellow plastids.

Axenic culture. Food organism. Tetrahymena medium.

Characterized by cilia; nearly all possess two types of nuclei.

Rhabditis sp. Easily grown on potato medium and easy to maintain, Rhabditis can be used as food for predatory fungi such as Arthrobotrys. You will receive enough materials for 35 students and culture instructions.

Ideal for use as a model system, this free-living nematode has biological processes similar to those of other animals. The transparent animal normally inhabits soil.
