Q+A:
Q: I messaged with you in 2016 regarding which Phaeocystis globosa strains were forming colonies in your culture collection. I am curious if your 1528 is still solitary only? My 1528 has since started forming colonies, and I would like to reacquire a solitary 1528 culture.
A: CCMP1528 is still solitary in our collection.
