Identification of Marine Eukaryotic Microorganisms

Marine eukaryotic microorganisms mainly include protozoa, eukaryotic microalgae and marine fungi. The common structural feature of protozoa is that they are all single-celled animals or simple groups. Marine fungi are heterotrophs and most are saprophytic, which has important implications for decomposing complex organic matter in environments. The best-known marine fungi are those that break down plant components such as wood, leaves and intertidal plants. Marine eukaryotic microalgae are primary producers in marine ecosystems and important marine biological resources. Many species of marine microalgae have high economic value. They are rich in nutrients, trace elements and various biologically active substances, and are easy to artificially propagate. Marine eukaryotic microalgae grow quickly and have a short reproduction cycle. Therefore, they are widely used in medicine, health care products, cosmetics, aquaculture, chemical industry, environmental protection and other fields. CD BioSciences provides not only the cultivation of marine eukaryotic microorganisms but also the identification of eukaryotic microorganisms.

Our Modes of Marine Eukaryotic Microorganisms Identification

The three methods used for microbial identification are genotype, proteotype, and phenotype. Genotyping analyzes sequences in bacterial and fungal rRNA regions, while proteotyping methods analyze expressed ribosomal proteins. Finally, phenotyping methods analyze biochemical responses. NOTE: The accuracy and reproducibility of identification decreases as you move away from the original information (DNA).

16S rRNA gene sequencing
25S rRNA gene or ITS1/ITS2 partial sequencing
Multilocus comparative sequencing
18S/ITS sequencing
MALDI-TOF MS
Biochemical tests
Staining

What you can send?

Fungal isolates can be sent to our laboratory as plates, slants or broths that have been cultured to produce adequate growth.
We also accept mixed cultures and other types of samples such as samples of water, swabs, mucus or contaminated products, but please contact us to discuss available options before submitting.
