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.

Authority | Heggøy, Rueness & Sjøtun 2016 |
Isolator | Rueness (2011) |
Collection Site | isolated embayment with slightly brackish surface water Tjongspollen, Bømlo, Hordaland, Norway |
Notes | This is the same isolate as CCAP 2347/1 but maintained separately as spermatangium-bearing male plant. Collected November 2011. Isolation: repeated isolation of apical cuttings from vegetative plants. Only vegetative and tetrasportia-bearing plants recorded in field. In culture maintained by vegetative fragmentation Occasionally tetrasporangial stichidia are formed. Tetraspores fail to develop into female plants. Photographs 1-5 from Jan Rueness; 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 |
