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: Eurychasma was propagated in its original field host and contaminants were progressively removed by subculturing; This is an unialgal host culture - Eurychasma (an oomycete parasite of brown algae) is an obligate biotroph, i.e. it cannot grow outside its host. The host in which this strain is maintained is Macrocystis pyrifera CCAP 1323/1. The original host was Ectocarpus sp. CCAP 1310/299; Subculture every 2 weeks, transfer into new medium, with addition of some healthy host to ensure the propagation of the infection. |
