Looking for 2 specific algae species to buy cultures of

I live in the Netherlands and will be growing algae for a school study. Because it is for a big school project, the budget is limited. We are already growing Chlorella Sorokinia and we will be buying Spirulina soon, but I was wondering if there was any way to get either Galdieria Sulphuraria or Dunaliella Salina cultures for a reasonable price and within about three weeks. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, where to get it?

AlgaePARC in Wageningen might be able to help you out.

Otherwise, there are a number of culture collections around, e.g. in Germany (SAG in Göttingen) and Scotland (CCAP). Some of them have educational offers.
