Can’t find “your alga”?
We do our best to keep the species names in our strains up to date with the latest scientific findings. Taxonomy is a living field, and algae are no exception — sometimes a species does not disappear from our collection, it simply gets a new name.
So if you cannot find a particular species, don’t worry. It may have been renamed, moved to another genus, or updated according to recent taxonomic research.
To check the current accepted name, we recommend using AlgaeBase. You are also welcome to contact our curator, who will be happy to help you track it down: Josef Juran (Josef.Juran@ibot.cas.cz)
