[[File:Daphnia Pulex .jpg|thumb|264x264px|'''Image 1.''' Daphnia Pulex, [https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Daphnia_pulex/pictures/collections/contributors/Grzimek_inverts/Cladocera/Daphnia_pulex/ Image Source]]]'''''Daphnia pulex''''', known as water fleas, are freshwater crustaceans closely related to shrimp. Though microscopic, Daphnia are among the most visible small crustaceans, ranging in size from 0.2 to 5 mm. Their reproduction alternates between asexual and sexual cycles, with females laying eggs in warmer conditions, while males are produced under stressful circumstances like overcrowding or cold temperatures.

Daphnia belongs to the group of metazoans, which also includes nematodes, bristle worms, and tardigrades. Metazoans feed on algae, bacteria, and protozoa, such as amoebas, flagellates, and ciliates, which help regulate bacterial populations, cycle nutrients, and enhance water clarity. Metazoans play a role in controlling protozoa and bacteria levels.

'''Physical Characteristic'''

Daphnia pulex has a characteristic translucent carapace, which allows scientists to observe internal processes such as heart rate, digestion, and reproduction in real time. Daphnia has a simple, open circulatory system with a single, small heart located dorsally. The heart rate is susceptible to changes in environmental factors such as temperature and oxygen levels, which makes them useful for toxicological studies.

'''Environmental Factors'''

Daphnia are highly sensitive to oxygen levels, the pH and the temperature of the water. When the oxygen is low, they may suffer physiological stress, which affects their heart rate and survival. Cooler temperatures slow their metabolism and reproduction. Acidic or fundamental conditions can be detrimental to their survival. They prefer a neutral to slightly alkaline pH and can be sensitive to changes in water hardness and salinity.

'''Life Cycle and Reproduction'''
[[File:The Reproduction Cycle of Daphnia.png|thumb|203x203px|'''Image 3'''. The reproduction cycle of Daphnia magna. [https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-023-26169-0 Image Source]]]
For most of the year, especially in favourable conditions, female Daphnia pulex reproduce through '''parthenogenesis''', producing genetically identical offspring. This allows rapid population growth, which is crucial for their survival in fluctuating environments.

When environmental conditions become unfavourable, like in colder temperatures or overcrowded populations, Daphnia shifts to '''sexual reproduction.''' This involves producing males and mating to form resting eggs or ephippia. These eggs are capable of surviving extreme conditions like drying out or freezing, allowing the species to persist through harsh periods.

=== '''2. Setting Up the Aquarium''' ===
A small aquarium was used to contain the daphnia.

For the water requirement, 1.5L Volvic brand mineral water was used to maintain the pH between '''6.5 and 8.5'''. Since Daphnia are sensitive to chlorine, the water must be dechlorinated water.

'''The water plant''' and '''the snails''' were placed to regulate the oxygen inside the water and to filter.

Also, the water temperature must be between '''18°C to 25°C''', therefore, the tank was placed in the daylight in the lab to provide sufficient conditions.

=== 3. Introducing the Culture ===
3x90 ml Daphnia culture was introduced to the tank.

=== 4. Feeding the Daphnia ===
2-3 small pinch of '''baker’s yeast''' were dissolved in water. Afterwards, the water started to get cloudy.

The culture was fed every 1-2 days.

=== 5. Troubleshooting ===
Unfortunately, the amount of yeast caused the overfeeding of fleas. For the further process, the amount of it must be less than before and the water clarity should be taken into consideration to avoid overfeeding.

== About this course ==
''Credits:'' 2 [[SWS]]

''Venue:'' DIY Biolab @ [[Marienstraße 7b]], [[Marienstraße 7b/202|Room 204/202]]

''Lecturer(s):'' Alessandro Volpato

In this course you will learn how to cultivate different microorganisms that are used to produce bioart.

Bioart is a discipline in which artists use living matter to pursue artistic research.

During the course we will work with ''Physarim polycaphalum'' (slime mold), ''Daphnia pulex'' (water flea), Tardigrades (water bears), Euglena''s'' and the cultivation of algae in general and design fungal composite materials with ''Fomes fomentarius'' (tinder mushroom).

Students will learn about what has been done in the bioart scene.

Additionally, students will have access to the lab and allowed to pursue own bioart projects.

NOTE: Attending the BioLab Driver's Licence is mandatory to attend this course

The speculative garden project considers the future of symbiosis with the technological object, the more-than-human and the environment in terms of power and control in the context of global capitalism and posthumanism.

For this purpose licen was used, to reflect the idea of symbiosis on the environment with algorithms and artificial intelligence by using sensors, computers, photos and sounds from the environment.

The feedback and instances from the physical to the digital space, it creates an intangible figure of nature and are represented in this garden as an interface.

Motivation

The aim was to create a "victimless utopia" which is against to material waste of global production and animal cruelty.

Plan

Victimless Leather explores the future consequences and potentials of using tissue engineering to develop consumer products in leather production.

Execution

This leather is cultured inside a custom-made perfusion chamber, inspired by the organ perfusion pump

The Industrial Revolution has led to the fast production of non-renewable composite materials and as a result of this, interest in biomaterials for industrial applications is growing fast and mycelium is one the most studied ones.

In this research, mycelium PLA is produced for 3D printing and used to generate new and aesthetic possibilities for myco-composite objects, by observing and simulating the behaviour of mycelium in various substrates.

To explore this aspect of biodegradable and digital fabrication methods, a table prototype was created.

The garden, a space produced and needed by (wo)man for centuries, is referred to as the mirror of society that entangles nodes of power and control.
