Culture conditionsRCC medium: PCR-S11-Red SeaRCC temperature: 22.00RCC transfer period weeks: 3.00RCC light: 80Phenotype pigment: Syn type 3dARemark: Genome sequenced by JGI. This strain can grow well in PCR-S11, which offers only NH4 as nitrogen source. Adding NO3 to this medium would also satisfy this strain, however without any significant consequence on the growth rate. RCC1086 is a cold temperate ecotype of marine Synechococcus (i.e. Clade I from subcluster 5.1). This means that it will grow between about 8 and 25°C, with optimal growth near 22-24°C, depending on the light irradiance applied. Marine Synechococcus exhibit much lower growth rates than the freshwater Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803: it takes about 10 days to have a well-colored culture when grown under 20 µmol photons/m²/s at 22°C. Details on the culture conditions of Synechococcus sp. CC9311 can also be retrieved from the articles of Brian Palenik (Scripps), who isolated and purified this strain.
