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 | Testate amoeba; The cultures usually do well under conditions described and reach max density of trophic amoeba in 10-15 days after transfer in fres medium; no cysts are formed, gradual decrease in the number of cells occurs between one and two months after subculturing if no fresh medium added. After the death of the cells, the empty tests remain intact, so be sure not to take empty tests for living cells esp under low magnification. |
