A METHOD OF OBTAINING AXENIC CULTURES OF TRENTEPOHLIA SPP. (CHLOROPHYTA)

Axenic cultures of Trentepohlia species are necessary for the study of growth and physiological characters of the algae.

Zusammenfassung:	Axenic cultures of Trentepohlia species are necessary for the study of growth and physiological characters of the algae. We describe the use of a Skerman micromanipulator to isolate filaments from samples of T. aurea and T. odorata collected from their natural habitats. These filaments were than used as inocula for the establishment of axenic cultures. In the case of T. aurea , further treatment with lactic acid was necessary.
