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 | epiphytic on wild Porphyra sp. populations Lunna, Shetland Islands, Scotland, UK |
Notes | Isolation: dissection, pipetting, tentative unialgal separation; clonal; Small red alga with erect filaments (50-300µm and spiral shaped plastids. The base is multicellular (50-100µm). Non motile spores. Grows well in deep petri dishes where it attaches to the base. Colonisation quicker if the medium is regularly shaken in rotary motion to spread the released non motile spores. Contains bacteria and protists; 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 |
