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: ASWP + wheat (diluted by 10); Bacteria present; maintained by serial subculture; add wheat grain; Increased salinity is not tolerated; sub every 1 - 1.5 months

AuthorityKudryavtsev, Wylezich & Pawlowski 2011
IsolatorKudryavtsev (2004)
Collection Sitebottom sediments, slightly saline semi-desert pond in the south of Kazakhstan (Central Asia)
Notes Isolation: enrichment cultivation with subsequent purification by migration on agar surface. room temp, no special lighting conditions necessary. The cultures usually reach max density of trophic amoebae in 15-20 days after transfer in a fresh medium; no cysts are formed, gradual decrease in the number of cells occurs between 1.5 and two months after subculturing, if the medium is not changed into fresh; Name changed May11 as per Kudryavtsev correspondence and Kudryavtsev, Wylezich & Pawlowski 2011.
