Chlorella sorokiniana

About

Chlorella sorokiniana is a species of freshwater green microalga in the division Chlorophyta. The original strain of C. sorokiniana was first isolated by Constantine A. Sorokin in 1951 from a freshwater stream on the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas; he labeled it as Chlorella pyrenoidosa strain 7-1 1-05. In 1965, Ikuko Shihira and Robert W. Krauss reinvestigated the strain and found it to be its own species, naming it after Sorokin.
