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.

Freshwater. Colonial; four cells with spines. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

Freshwater. Colonial; colonies elliptical, made up of 16–32 cells. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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: Amphidinium, Coccolithophora, Dunaliella, Ectocarpus, and Prorocentrum.

Spirogyra is a genus of filamentous green algae with chloroplasts arranged in a helical (spiral) pattern.

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

Freshwater; forms a colony of four, eight, 16 or 32 cells.
