Algae Research Supply: Algae and Zooplankton Education Kit
$ 19.99 $ 25.99
Nannochloropsis is a useful genus of algae found all around the planet in marine and brackish environments. The cultivation of Nannochloropsis is relatively simple and produces beautiful green cultures. Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans also known as brine shrimp. Baby brine shrimp can either hatch from a cyst or are born live. Its life cycle is affected by salinity, water temperature, and food availability. In the wild, Artemia feed on algae. Their cysts hatch with the highest food availability. The emerging brine shrimp feed on the abundant algae to reach maturity, a process that takes 2-3 weeks depending on food availability and temperature. The algae and brine shrimp can happily live together by helping each other out!
Algae and Zooplankton can be used to help teach many lessons from the Next Generation Science Standards. We have designed this kit to be used as the basic equipment you will need to do hands-on work in:
- Photosynthesis
- Respiration
- Reproduction
- Populations and communities
- Experimental Design
- Energy and matter transfer through systems
- many more...

Algae Research Supply: Algae Beads
$ 24.95 $ 36.00
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 Anabaena variabilis
$ 8.00
About the Algae: Anabaena variabilis is a filamentous cyanobacterium. It is photosynthetic and can also convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia via nitrogen fixation. Anabaena variabilis is great for studying algae blooms and photosynthesis. It is often used for researching the beginnings of multicellular life due to its filamentous characterization and cellular-differentiation capabilities.

Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture for Isochrysis galbana
$ 8.00
About the Algae: The microalga Isochrysis galbana is 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 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.
