based on cell culture lineage: the Prokaryotic Code defines a strain as the group "of the descendants of a single isolation in pure culture". Accordingly, prokaryotes in the same strain are expected to have minimal phenotypic and genetic differences. (There has been some complication in the case of lost records about culture lineages.) A strain can be identified by a name assigned by some author (e.g. "B6", "natto"), or by the abbreviation of a culture collection
