Part III, Line 1a:The Laboratory houses the Provasoli-Guillard National Center of Marine Algae and Microbiota. The Laboratory does not capitalize this collection of more than 2,700 strains of marine phytoplankton, bacteria, and viruses.

Proceeds from the sales of strain samples are used to maintain and preserve the collection.
Part X, Line 2:The Laboratory qualifies as an organization exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and files a Form 990 tax return. With few exceptions, the Laboratory is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018 due to the statute of limitations. The Laboratory has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC, Income Taxes. Management of the Laboratory believes it has no material uncertain tax positions, and accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
