• Vannella sp.
Division/Phylum: Amoebozoa Class: Discosea

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: MW; Bacteria and other organisms present; maintained by serial subculture; add boiled wheat grain; 18-22.5 degrees C; pH 7; natural daily L:D cycle
Attributes
IsolatorBöhme (2006)
Collection Sitebiofilm on stones/sediment Stream Ilm, Griesheim, Thuringia, Germany
Notes feeds on very small amoebae growing in culture; species was found in culture vessels that had previously contained wild cultures from the stream Ilm. This amoeba survived the vessels drying and sterilisation at 180 deg C, possibly due to cyst formation or deficient sterilisation.
