Algae Research Supply Lemna Minor, Duckweed, Freshwater, Perfect for School Science Fairs/Projects, Experiments & Classrooms (1000ml)
Duckweed was once considered simply a nuisance plant with explosive reproductive capacity in natural ponds and lakes. Now it is now drawing attention as a wastewater remediation tool and high protein/starch aquatic crop for animal feedstocks, bioplastic, bioenergy and protein supplements for humans. Duckweed is a photosynthetic aquatic plant that is already being used to conduct scientific experiments. Students have been able to easily design and conduct lab experiments that examine the effects of environmental conditions on the survival and growth of this floating aquatic flora.
