CC-1010 wild type mt+ [UTEX 90]
$30.00
From the University of Texas Algal Collection (UTEX), May 1980
This is a wild-type strain tracing back to the 1945 collection by G.M. Smith, near Amherst MA, but it has been separate from the 137c (CC-124 and CC-125) and Sager (CC-1690) lines since about 1950. This strain can grow on nitrate.
