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: MY75S; Minimal or unobserved bacteria under normal growth conditions; maintained by serial subculture; 4-10 deg C; pH 6-9; salinity 33ppt; light not required; or PmTG medium

AuthorityHassett & Gradinger 2018
IsolatorHassett (2017)
Collection Sitepine pollen from sediment Tromsø, Norway
Notes clonal; treated with antibiotics during isolation prior to deposit; 2-10 µm, produces zoospores in seawater and undergoes repeated binary division in nutrient media. On agar subculture interval is 4 weeks; in liquid PmTG media up to 8 weeks at 4 deg C. For subculturing on agar plates, transfer colonies with sterile loop to new plate then inundate with ~250µl sterile seawater. For liquid cultures, lightly invert tubes to resuspend then take about 1ml and transfer to new 50ml Falcon tube full of sterile media. Due to difficulty in acquiring peptonised milk we use Marine MY75S agar medium.
