From the University of Texas Algal Collection (UTEX), May 1985

This strain was isolated from soil collected in 1957 on Yap, in the Caroline Islands, by Ralph Lewin, and is not cross-fertile with other isolates of C. moewusii, Wiese and Wiese referred to this strain and its opposite mating type (UTEX 793, not in our collection) as C. moewusii syngen II. Based on patterns of sensitivity to glycosidases and various proteolytic enzymes, Wiese et al. inferred their probable equivalence to the conventional designations for mating type in other C. moewusii isolates.
