Matière vivante, Protistes
Les spécimens vivants sont utilisés dans une grande variété d’études, notamment pour observer les effets physiologiques des médicaments sur le rythme cardiaque d’un organisme, l’influence de la température sur le métabolisme, la locomotion des organismes microscopiques, ainsi que la respiration des plantes, la photosynthèse, la plasmolyse et bien plus encore. Les cultures d’algues forment des colonies cellulaires très faciles à visualiser pour mieux comprendre les parois cellulaires et les plastes. De nombreux spécimens vivants se reproduisent rapidement, permettant un renouvellement rapide entre les tests successifs.

Dictyostelium discoideum, Demonstration Plate
Cellular slime mold. Demonstrates amoeboid state, pseudoplasmodial state, and fruiting body, or sorocarp. Found in woodland soil in decomposing vegetation where bacteria are abundant. Incubation temperature 25°C. Plate cultures grown with Enterobacteria as food source; freeze-dried cultures include food source.
Characterized by an amoeboid stage (lacking cell walls) and a fungus-like reproductive structure.

Ward's® Live Chaos (Pelomyxa sp.) Culture
Members of the Pelomyxa genus look very much like Amoeba. Pelomyxa, however, have many nuclei, whereas Amoeba have only one.
