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 | (Pedersen) Peters 2003 |
Isolator | Murúa (2014) |
Collection Site | beach cast, microscopic endophyte growing in Alaria esculenta Seil Island, Argyll, Scotland, UK |
Climatic Zone | Temperate |
Notes | Brown algal endophyte; Collected by A. Peters Oct 2014, isolated Nov 2014. The few-celled endophyte filaments remained uniseriate, branched and formed disorganized thalli of 1 - 2 millimetres in diameter. Uniseriate plurilocular sporangia widely present. Clonal. Infects and lives in the interior of kelps, particularly Alaria esculenta); the presence of the endophyte may be associated with thallus deformations (twisted stipe, warts, curled blade); it is possible the endophyte causes the deformations; 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 |
