Algae in the ocean fixes more carbon dioxide than all the plants on the land.

Uptake and Effect of Microplastics on Growth and Development of Pisum sativum

At Algae Research and Supply, we're constantly inspired by the creativity and curiosity of the students who use our products. One shining example is Rowan Suit, a high school researcher from Pope High School, who recently completed a groundbreaking project exploring how microplastics affect the growth and reproduction of Pisum sativum (pea plants). Her project was sparked by our Fake Fluorescent Food kit, which introduces students to the invisible world of microplastic contamination in a hands-on and visually stunning way.
