Tetraselmis chui is a unicellular green alga in the family Chlorodendraceae. It is found in marine environments and has been reported on the coasts of Great Britain and the Pacific Northwest.[1]
T. chui was first described in 1959 by Robert William Butcher.[2] The specific epithet is named for S. P. Chu.[1]
Like other members of Tetraselmis, T. chui is known for its high fatty acid content, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). T. chui strain CCAP 8/6 is used in aquaculture industry.[3] It is also approved by both the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority as a novel food[4] and the dried biomass is sold under the name TetraSOD.[5]
