This is C. reinhardtii strain C9 from Eiji Hase, Institute of Applied Microbiology, University of Tokyo, Japan, and was brought to Duke from K.S. Chiang’s laboratory by David Grant.

According to information from Matsuda 9/84, strain C8 and strain C9 were acquired by Y. Tsubo from Ruth Sager in 1954 and were donated to the Tokyo stock collection in 1959. Thus these strains are probably equivalent to Sager 21 gr and y1. This strain can grow on nitrate.
