Estudio morfologico y fisiologico de una nueva especie de Prototheca: Prototheca Ciferrii n.sp., aislada de epidermis de papa

Human Protothecosis

“…are globally ubiquitous (123) and can be isolated from various reservoirs, such as the environment, animals, and food (55,100,123). Typical sources of Prototheca species are the slime flux of trees, grass, fresh and salt water, wastewater, animals such as cattle, deer, and dogs, stables, animal buildings, excrement (22,123,142), and food items such as butter, potato peels, cow's milk, soil, and bananas (72,99,100,117,119,135,166). Since chlorination is not uniformly effective in eliminating potentially pathogenic Prototheca species from the effluents of sewage water and household waste, the algae survive and return to the environment (163).…”

MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY AND PHENOTYPIC VARIATION IN THE HETEROTROPHIC GREEN ALGAL GENUS PROTOTHECA (TREBOUXIOPHYCEAE, CHLOROPHYTA)1

“…The species was later lectotypified by Kalina and Punčochářová (1987), and Krüger's original strain (Cambridge 211‐7a) was designated as the type strain of Auxenochlorella protothecoides (Krüger) Kalina et Punčochářová. In the case of Prototheca , Negroni and Blaisten (1941) and later Cooke (1968) designated P. zopfii as the lectotype for the genus, and the type strain of P. zopfii is ATCC 16533. Although Krüger considered Prototheca as a colorless green alga, it was later also considered to be related to fungi (Tubaki and Soneda 1959, Anderson 1962, Echlin 1967, Arnold and Ahearn 1972).…”

Occurrence of Prototheca Microalgae in Aquatic Ecosystems with a Description of Three New Species, Prototheca fontanea, Prototheca lentecrescens, and Prototheca vistulensis

“…Over the years, many ecological niches have been identified for Prototheca spp. The algae were primarily recovered from plant material, such as slime flux of elm, lime, mulberry, and oak trees ( 6 – 9 ), bark of a cherry tree ( 10 ), fruit coat of loquat ( 11 ), cut stems of banana plants ( 12 ), potato epidermis ( 13 ), plant debris ( 3 ), and lichens ( 14 ). However, Prototheca algae have also been isolated from terrestrial sources, such as soil, mud, and stream sediments ( 3 , 9 , 15 , 16 ).…”
