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.

Notes | Isolation from interior of Saccharina latissima (=Laminaria saccharina) containing filaments of brown endophytic alga. This strain of Laminarionema produced an unilocular sporangium from whom dioecious gametophytes were isolated in culture. Infects and lives in the interior of kelps, particularly Saccharina latissima (Laminaria saccharina); the presence of the endophyte is often associated with thallus deformations (twisted stipe, warts, curled blade); it is possible the endophyte causes the deformations. |
