• Ectocarpus siliculosus
Division/Phylum: Heterokontophyta/Ochrophyta Class: Phaeophyceae Order: Ectocarpales

Note: for strains where we have DNA barcodes we can be reasonably confident of identity, however for those not yet sequenced we rely on morphology and the original identification, usually made by the depositor. Although CCAP makes every effort to ensure the correct taxonomic identity of strains, we cannot guarantee that a strain is correctly identified at the species, genus or class levels. On this basis users are responsible for confirming the identity of the strain(s) they receive from us on arrival before starting experiments.
For strain taxonomy we generally use AlgaeBase for algae and Adl et al. (2019) for protists.

Culture media, purity and growth conditions:
Medium: Modified Provasoli - half strength; Bacteria and other organisms present; maintained by serial subculture; 10-15 deg C; pH 7.8
Attributes
Authority(Dillwyn) Lyngbye 1819
IsolatorMüller (1978)
Collection SiteOyster bed, mud, intertidal flat Port Bay Bridge, Port Aransas, Texas, USA
Notes Clonal culture derived from 0.1mm filament fragment. Field specimen was sterile, isolated clone was later identified as male gametophyte by crosses with reference cultures of known sex. Gametophyte character gets lost in long term culture, since gamete germination results in haploid sporophytes; This macroalgal culture contains bacteria and probably other organisms in low numbers, we are happy to provide further info on specific strains if you contact us
