General Maintenance Conditions
| Temperature: | 20 °C |
| Light source: | mix of warm-white & cool-white fluorescent lamps |
| Intensity: | 3200 lux (maximum) |
| Periodicity: | 12/12 h L/D |
Those who receive cultures are encouraged to duplicate within reason the conditions used in the Collection, when handling newly acquired cultures, to reduce the chance of losing the culture. After a stock culture is established, subcultures may be used for testing other conditions. These general maintenance conditions are not our recommendations to achieve optimal growth rates and large quantities of algae. Information on the best growth conditions and media must be acquired in other literature or through careful experimentation. For additional details on the long-term culture maintenance conditions utilized at UTEX, visit the Culture Maintenance Guides page.
