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 | intertidal sand Le Letty, close to Bénodet |
Notes | Isolated by Uhlig extraction & micropipetting, identified by morphology (depositor); this is a benthic, sand-dwelling species and relatively slow growing. Grown in low light (6.5 µmol m-2 s-2) but will also grow well at about 60 µmol m-2 s-2. Grow in petri dishes to give larger surface to grow on. It is normal for Bindiferia to have few moving cells in the culture, the main life cycle stage is non-motile. |
