A collection of some of the strains of Escherichia coli needed to grow various coliphages (available separately).

This large predatory frog will eat any other organism smaller than itself, including smaller bullfrogs; keep similar-sized frogs together to avoid cannibalism.

Often mistaken for beetles, these wingless crustaceans live their whole lives on land, feeding on decaying organic matter.

Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is widely used in genetic studies. They express a number of mutations such as eye, wing, and body mutations. Students can study sex-linked, recessive, and dominant mutations. Drosophila also makes an excellent live food for mantises, small reptiles, and amphibians. Drosophila demonstrates complete metamorphosis with egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages in its life cycle.

The body of this ciliate is transparent, making the large cilia clearly visible.

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 Protozoans" 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.

Our cultures undergo strict biochemical screening and are unconditionally guaranteed for species and purity. Each culture is labeled with scientific name, media on which it was cultivated and optimum growth temperature. Although our cultures are considered non-pathogenic, standard bacteriological laboratory procedures should be used at all times. Cultures are available either live for immediate use or freeze-dried for convenient storage until needed. (Please note: We are not responsible for any infection resulting from the use of our cultures.)

Hydra are tiny animals closely related to jellyfish. They can be carnivorous as well as photosyntheic due to their symbiotic relationship with green algae Zoochlorellae.

Red-pigmented halophile from evaporating salt ponds; requires 25% salt medium, lyses easily in plain water, releasing DNA.

Found in seawater and marine animals. Young cultures luminescent.

These fascinating frogs are uniquely adapted for climbing, with prominent adhesive pads on the ends of their digits.

Hydra are tiny animals closely related to jellyfish. They are a carnivorous species that can be found in healthy freshwater rivers and streams where they attach themselves to plants and rocks.

With stiff 'arms' radiating in all directions, these microscopic organisms look like sea urchins

Volvox aureus is a species of colonial green algae that forms spherical colonies of cells.

Freshwater; unbranched filaments with cylindrical- to slightly barrel-shaped cells; shows the characteristic H-pieces upon fragmentation of the filament.

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

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

This organism is commonly isolated from soil or water, and produces a pink or rose colored pigment.
