Laminarionema elsbetiae Kawai & Tokuyama (1995)
CCAP 1324/1
Isolator: Ellertsdottir (1994)
Origin: Marine; upper level of occurance of kelps Helgoland (German Bight), Südhafen, Germany,
Culture: Medium Provasoli Medium - half strength; Bacteria present; sub; 8 deg C; moderate light
Other: Orig. desig. ELsaSoW15; isolation from interior of Saccharina latissima (=Laminaria saccharina) containing filaments of brown endophytic alga. This strain of Laminarionema produced an unilocular sporangium from whom dioecious gametophytes were isolated in culture. Infects and lives in the interior of kelps, particularly Saccharina latissima (Laminaria saccharina); the presence of the endophyte is often associated with thallus deformations (twisted stipe, warts, curled blade); it is possible the endophyte causes the deformations.;
