Extract

There is a great demand for algal cultures in studying morphology, cytology, ecology, cellular pathology and physiology, identification of species, and biotic interaction, and also in feeding small animals in culture for various studies. It is hoped that the following note may be of some use to those who want to start making pure cultures of marine phytoplankton organisms.
