It was taken from these ponds about six months before the start of isolation and until then kept in large bowls in front of the north windows of the Plant Physiology Institute. Further algae material used for the cultures was found on the slope of the Hainberg on the soil of a clay pit, where botrydium occasionally occurs, and in the Pond of the Botanical Garden, still others were collected from garden walls and tree trunks.
