This is the phrase I have on a product lable: "Chlorella Vulgaris-Chikugo-Strain"
Chlorenergy is a powerful unique chlorella with a thin shell, made from pure chlorella vulgaris powder with chlorella vulgaris extract (Chikugo-Kabu or Chikugo strain).
Just i want to know what does it refers to, then I can translate into Arabic.
I know that Chlorella is well know in Japan, but what does these 2 expression refer to?
1) Chikugo-Kabu
2) Chikugo-strain
TIA

‘Chikugo’ itself refers to the city in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. (福岡県筑後市/ Chikugo City). However, ‘Chikugo’ here actually means the company name of Chlorella Industry Co.,LTD in Chikugo City (Chlorella Industry Co. Ltd., 1343 Hisatomi, Chikugo, Fukuoka 833-0056, JAPON).

Kabu (This means 'strain'. Kabu = strain)
So, Chikugo-Kabu = Chikugo strain
Kabu/strain (Chlorella Kabu/strain) means ‘Chlorella Virus’ such as the prototype of a group (family Phycodnaviridae, genus Chlorovirus) of large, icosahedral, plaque-forming, double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate in certain unicellular, eukaryotic chlorella-like green algae. In nature, the chlorella host is a hereditary endosymbiont of the cilliated protozoan Paramecium bursaria and while inside its protozoan host, the alga is protected from the viruses.

So, it is ‘the Chlorella strain developed by Chlorella Industry Co. Ltd., )
