About The Salt Plains (SP) Collection

The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Oklahoma, USA is a moist soil habitat characterized by highly fluctuating salinity (ranging from freshwater to NaCl saturation) and temperature extremes (sometimes exceeding 50 °C). A broad range of halotolerant soil algae occur in this habitat, sometimes within microbial mats or in shallow pools.

A diverse range of Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae have been isolated and provided tentative identification by Dr. Andrea Kirkwood, and representative strains have been deposited in UTEX by Dr. William Henley. These strains have now been cryopreserved and are maintained at UTEX in indefinite storage under liquid nitrogen.

Strain Information Only

Certain algal strains are no longer available for purchase through UTEX. Given that numerous research articles and publications, particularly those from earlier periods, may continue to reference specific UTEX strains, we will maintain and provide all accessible strain data for reference and informational purposes. In instances where these unavailable strains are cited, a related or sister strain may be found in the Algae Details section, which could present an alternative Culture Collection from which to acquire it.

Additionally, we recommend utilizing the "Search by Strain" feature on the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) website to identify other Culture Collections that may possess the desired strain.
