"Algae Living Specimens"

Marine. Filamentous. Branched thallus, zoospores. Erdschreiber’s medium.

Kelp and seaweed; with a distinct set of photosynthetic pigments.

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

This complete set allows students to investigate the evolutionary development of algae.

Marine. Filamentous; polysiphonious construction. Collected.

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

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

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

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.

Freshwater. Filamentous; H-shaped cell walls. Soil-water medium.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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

Characterized by reddish plastids (rhodoplasts).

Freshwater. Colonial; with spherical, biflagellated cells. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Filamentous. Homothallic strain. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Colonial; polygonal cells. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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.

Freshwater. Filamentous; displays high degree of differentiation. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Filamentous; two stellate chloroplasts per cell. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Marine, Macroalga, Multicellular; membranous thallus. Collected. Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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.
