Adjusting culture conditions to isolate thraustochytrids from temperate and cold environments in southern Argentina

To study thraustochytrids from temperate and cold environments of Southern Argentina, the standard cultivation methodologies have been modified because many of the microorganisms detected by microscopic examination in both the original samples and the colonized baits failed to be successfully isolat...
