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.

Collection Site | Coral Plesiastrea versipora (Faviidae), 5ft depth Sydney Harbour, NSW, Australia |
Notes | Isolation: coral tissue removed from the coral skeleton by airpicking, bacteria and coral cells were removed and freshly isolated algae placed into fE2 medium. It is assumed each of the algae obtained are minor symbionts of the corals; NQAIF136; Coccoid c. 3-5 µm, unflagellated, brown. Maintained at CCAP in L1 medium, 20 deg C, subcultured every 1-2 months. |
