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.

Collection Site | Aquatic plant Elodea sp. purchased from pet shop Neuwied, Germany |
Notes |
Isolation: various leaves of Elodea were transferred onto NN agar plates with E. cloacae; before deposit, this strain, SL-elo, appeared as host strain of a chlamydia-like bacterium, described as a novel species (Corsaro et al. 2013). The submitted amoeba strain (CCAP 1572/6) does not harbour any of these Chlamydiales. |
