Want a simple way to demonstrate photosynthesis and respiration? Use ALGAE!!!!
Algae Beads from Algae Research and Supply is a simple and easy way to perform experiments in the classroom. Our algae beads are made from Chlorella vulgaris (green freshwater algae common across the world and commonly consumed as a nutritional supplement). We concentrate the culture and add sodium alginate in the presence of calcium ions- and POOF- algae beads are born.
These simple and robust beads can be used repeatedly in experiments in the classroom. Store in the refrigerator or leave on your benchtop in light bright enough to read. You do not need to do anything to them for them to stay healthy for weeks.
Experiments: Dark and Light: Show if photosynthesis or respiration is taking place. Light color: Place colored screens to demonstrate that the color of light is important to photosynthesis (hint: green is not that useful to algae!) Light intensity: Place containers from close to far away from a light source (hint: the containers closest to the light source will change color the fastest). You can use our color-indicator that shows if photosynthesis is taking place (change in pH).
Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Kit for Arthrospira platensis (spirulina)
$ 15.95$ 32.99
About the Algae: Spirulina is the common name of the cyanobacteria Arthrospira plantensis. It is commonly found all around the world making it one of the rare endemic strains of the Earth. It is also an extremophile for pH, it does very well at pH ranges up to 10.5. Spirulina is commonly used as a food or nutraceutical for humans and animals. It contains the pigment phycocyanin which is a water soluble phycobilin or photosynthetic protein. It is shaped as a beautiful helical colony called a tricome.
Algae Culture Kit for Microalgae. We have perfected the method and supplies for anyone to grow an ecologically or industrially important strain of algae. It contains everything you need to grow a laboratory-grade culture at home or at your desk, it is great for a science fair or even art projects!
Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Kit for Chlorella vulgaris
$ 15.95$ 32.99
About the Algae: Chlorella is a genus of single-cell green algae belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta. It is spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and is without flagella. Chlorella contains the green photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll-a and -b in its chloroplast. Through photosynthesis, it multiplies rapidly, requiring only carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and a small amount of minerals to reproduce.

Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Kit for Isochrysis galbana
$ 15.95$ 32.99
About the Algae:The MicroalgaIsochrysis galbanais a great feeder algae. We know when it is happy and healthy because when you smell it, it smells like low tide! The high lipid and DHA content make it popular as an aquaculture feed for animals such as bivalves, crustaceans, and zooplankton. Some of our coral reef friends love this strain as it brings great pigmentation into the corals.

Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Kit for Nannochloropsis
$ 15.95$ 32.99
About the Algae:Nannochloropsis is a genus of alga within the heterokont line of eukaryotes. While they can be found in fresh and brackish waters, Nannochloropsis widely occurs in saltwater world-wide. Some Nannochloropsis species have been shown to be suitable for algal biofuel production and are popular for use in aquaculture feed and dietary supplements. Nannochloropsis is a bulldog of an algae strain, It is great for science projects as it stays in suspension and is difficult to kill.

NOT INCLUDED: chlorine-free water, a growing vessel (such as a 10-gallon fish tank), air supply (small air pump, not the band, but if you could get the band to sing to the culture- that would be amazing!).
Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Kit for Porphrydium cruentum
$ 15.95$ 32.99
About the Algae: The microalga Porphyridium sp. (Rhodophyta) is a potential source for several products like fatty acids, lipids, cell-wall polysaccharides and pigments. The polysaccharides of this species are sulfated and their structure gives rise to some unique properties that could lead to a broad range of industrial and pharmaceutical applications. This is one of the ONLY red microalgae. It is used by researchers to study the red protein-based pigment phycoerythrine. Often used by the aquaculture community to bring RED color into filter feeders.

Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Salts, Marine Algae
$ 3.50$ 15.00
This is salt for MARINE algae.
Ourculture saltsare a modification of the media from Aiba, S. & Ogawa, T. (1977) and Schlösser (1994). It uses NaNO3 (sodium nitrate) and NaPO4 (sodium phosphate) as the nitrogen and phosphorus sources to maintain a favorable environment to keep your spirulina happy and healthy!
This media kit includes only salts, if you need more than just culture salts, consider one of our many Culturing Kits which contains everything you need to grow a laboratory-grade culture at home or at your desk, or Complete Media Kit (salts + nutrients) to freshen up your algae's environment.
TO GROW ALGAE YOU WILL NEED: A Marinestarting culture, chlorine-free water, a growing vessel (such as a 10-gallon fish tank), air supply (small air pump, not the band, but if you could get the band to sing to the culture- that would be amazing!).
Algae Research Supply: Algae Culturing Project Kit for 25 Students: 7-14 day project. $3 per student.
$ 75.00
