| CULTURE INFORMATION |
| Culture medium: | ESP Ag |
| Axenic: | axenic |
| Strain relatives: | only valid for original strain SAG 698-1a: CCAP 698/1A; UTEX 42; CAUP K 402a; Prague 208; M. Mix 241 |
| Agitation resistance: | not detected |
| Special properties: | strain probably mixed or mislabelled between 1985 and 2006; maybe identical to SAG 698-2 now; sequence data show that this strain belong rather to C. cylindricum than to C. circumcarinatum. Feng et al. 2021; NO known Nagoya Protocol restrictions for this strain; dioecious; + strain |
