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:

| Notes | Lighting: 1-2 µE in stocks, tolerates more in experimental cultures but the species is sciaphile (preferring shadow); The strain is a male gametophyte consisting of prostrate monosiphonous filaments on which erect bladelets may be formed; Isolation from the surface of a pebble that was incubated in laboratory culture. First record of species in the southeast Pacific; first material of the species to be used for molecular systematics leading to new classification; 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 |
