Recently, we identified our microalgae using 18s rRNA, and the data showed that the isolate was 99% similar to unclassified microalgae with general information on NCBI and no publications.
Our publication is interested in synthesizing NPs using microalgae. Does it necessary to undergo a classification process, or it is enough to publish the isolate and clearly state that these algae are not classified?
Thank you
Hello Hamida,
A couple of points on this:
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Most of the algal species are described based on morphology. So one would expect the description of its morphology and morphological identification. If you already classified the organism as an alga you should know at least to which class it belongs and how good molecular references are for this class.
