What to Focus On

  • Culturing means growing organisms in the lab under controlled conditions.
  • Four factors: habitat, collection method, culture method, and preservation.
  • Used for morphological, taxonomic, cytological, genetic, and behavioral studies.
  • Both are protozoans found in freshwater.
  • Paramecium culture uses decaying plant matter to grow bacteria as food.
  • Amoeba culture uses wheat/rice grains in a petri dish with water.
  • Hydra is collected from ponds, not easily cultured.
  • Found attached to aquatic plants.
  • Floats to surface when oxygen is low.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Onion root tips are cultured to study meiosis.

Paramecium and Amoeba are cultured on plain water or nutrient broth like bacteria.

Hydra can be easily cultured in any aquarium with fish food.

Memory Tips

Common organisms cultured in the lab: Paramecium, Amoeba, Hydra, Rhizopus, Drosophila, Onion root tips

Steps to culture Paramecium: Use grass/vegetable remains, add water, wait a week, bacteria grow, Paramecium feed on bacteria

Amoeba culture: Use wheat/rice grains in water, keep in dark, cool place, Amoeba multiply in 20–21 days
