"Euglena+live"

Freshwater. Unicellular; desmid. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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

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

Ascomycete. Host for rDNA. Incubation temperature 30°C. Sabouraud dextrose/YM agar growth medium.

This activity shows Dermestid beetles assist in the breakdown of dead organic matter. Simply allow them access to the freeze-dried frog provided.

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

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

Deuteromycete. “Black mold”. Produces citric acid. Common airborne contaminant. Causes aspergillosis. Incubation temperature 25°C. Sabouraud dextrose agar growth medium.

Philodina sp. Easy to culture and easy to examine under a microscope because of the lack of a lorica (shell), these typical rotifers are perfect for general study. Culture instructions are included.

Cool and colorful dragons liven up genetics lessons.
