Lancefield group A, beta hemolysis. Sensitive to bacitracin. Causes strep throat, rheumatic fever, and scarlet fever.

From sewage and human intestine. Causes dysentery. 

These small marine crustaceans are supplied as adults, and measure approximately ¹/₄" in size at the time of shipment.

All microbial cultures undergo an extensive quality control program prior to releasing for sale, so they are guaranteed for purity as well as for species.

This organism is easily recognized by its trumpet-shape and blue coloration. It is quite large (approx. 2 mm) and is a good option for students that are just starting to look at the microscopic world.

Isolated from sewage, human intestines, and urinary tract infections. Spreading colonies are seen on agar growth medium. 

This harmless insect parasitizes the Sarcophaga (flesh fly) pupae. Females usually lay 30–50 eggs in the pupae, which provide food for the Nasonia larvae when they hatch.

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

Drosophila, the common fruit fly is widely used in genetic studies. Ward's offers a large number of mutations to help you demonstrate complex genetics concepts.

Isolated from milk and udders of cows. Lancefield group B, beta hemolysis. Causes infection of the female genital tract, maternal septicemia, neonatal infections. Camp test positive; resistant to bacitracin.

E. coli with JM101 can be transformed with pUC8 plasmid to become resistant to Ampicillin and to metabolize lactose

Used for culturing Dictyostelium discoideum (cellular slime mold). 

Lancefield group C, beta hemolysis. Causes strangles in horses. May be pathogenic in humans. Camp test negative; resistant to bacitracin, does not ferment lactose. 

This yellow, shiny organism is known to cause wound infections and more famously, toxic shock syndrome.

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.

Yeast strains are ideal for genetic study because they are easy to grow and maintain, their life cycle is complete in approximately one week, and you can arrest different stages of the life cycle by growing it on different types of media.
