I have cultured algae many times. I was not able to get anything going with this algae. I don't know if perhaps it got too cold in transit. It was for a lab I do with my middle schoolers and it did not work.

Great quality algae, with no contamination from other species. Used it for growing my own fertilizer. Algae sample was very much alive, and reproduced very quickly!

I finally got a microscope after growing out this bottle of algae from algae research and supply to find that it is not even spirulina! See the pictures. From what I can find in reference studies and pictures I have ankistrodesmus and cholorococcum not spirulina. After many attempts to contact algae research and supply via their website maybe this will be helpful to others.Perhaps they miss labeled their bottles? Given the name of this seller you think they would be 100% certain that they send the right algae.

The cultures came extremely sparsely in their initial containers. I put them into a proper solution to let them propagate and a few weeks later I looked at it under a microscope. The majority of algae was not spirulina - it was something small and round. I did see a few pieces of spirulina but they were very sparse. At 40x magnification I could only count maybe 3. I'm gonna have to get another culture.

I bought a smaller batch a couple months ago that wasn’t nearly as alive, but even though this one came frozen solid, it’s culture is booming. I use spirulina for home air purification because they are pigs for co2. I’m pretty much knocking off an actual overpriced product that has some solid science behind it. (Algen air). Their product is sleek like Apple made it, but it’s lacking an adequate light and bubbler, and there’s no heater which is key. It retails for 200, but you can make your own “aquarium style” in any glass container you want for under 40. When you feed the culture, I bring some spring water to a boil and dilute the mixture, let it cool and you’ll immediately see more activity. Grow on!

This much product would have been $7 before greedflation but it has quickly propagated so …there’s that.

Follow all the instructions to the letter, no algae. Algae culture they send had very little algae present, no wonder nothing grew.
