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: enrichment cultivation with subsequent purification by pipetting; RV Meteor cruise M79/1, sample M79/1#621; Depositor notes: culture grows well and achieves high densities, but only if culture vessel is sealed with parafilm. If the dish is left unsealed the cells die out very quickly; A typical scale-bearing Paramoeba 20-70 microns in length with dactylopodid morphotype and a parasome (a kinetoplastid symbiont near the nucleus); one of the few amoebae isolated from the deep sea. |
