This species of freshwater algae is commonly used for research on photosynthesis.

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

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

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

Paramecium bursaria is a ciliate that contains mutualistic algae called Zoochlorella. The algae lives in the cytoplasma of the Paramecium and provides it with food. Paramecium bursaria grows in Dilute Alfalfa Medium (Hay Medium) or Soil Water Medium. Requires light for growth.

Paramecium multimicronucleatumis one of the largest species of Paramecium. This ciliate contains a single macronucleus and four or more micronuclei. Grows in Dilute Alfalfa medium (Hay Medium).
