Collecting macro invertebrates along a debris jam in a Mississippi stream

A plant physiologist and research chemist look at various plant extracts to analyze phytotoxins. A microbiologist from the Natural Products Utilization Research Unit grows cultures of blue-green algae to screen natural compounds in a rapid bioassay to discover selective algicides. Such algicides would be helpful in preventing musty off-flavor in farm-raised channel catfish. A biologist from the ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory takes a sediment core sample from the shallow margin of a stream.

We hope that your visit is enjoyable, informative, and meaningful.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact the Webmaster.
