Tris-acetate-phosphate medium (TAP) is a standard maintenance medium often used for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the most well-characterized eukaryotic freshwater algae. Ammonium (NH₄⁺) serves as the primary nitrogen source and Tris buffers the pH. Since TAP contains a relatively low concentration of phosphate, it can be used for P labeling as well as experiments or isolations requiring clarity of solid substrate cultures.
