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:

Bacteria and other organisms present; maintained by serial subculture; or f/2 or NSSLow; grows well with air bubbled through
| Attributes | |
| Authority | (Delile) Trevisan de Saint-Léon 1845 |
| Isolator | Kooistra (2008) |
| Collection Site | shallow, moderately wave affected rock, growing in algal turf Capo Posillipo, Gulf of Naples, Italy |
| Notes | Member of Clade 2; gametophyte. Isolation: tiny growth tips of young branches (2mm) washed and incubated in 2ml seawater then repeated and incubated in f/2; Note that in culture the gametophyte loses its typical habit as found in the field in mildly wave exposed areas. It becomes very 'fluffy'; 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. This strain is sensitive to travel and uses nutrients quickly, we ship 2 x 50ml pots at fairly low density, see image above. |
