Additional Justification

As most, if not all labs, use CIW4s, this could be a synonym for 'Smed asexual biotype', but other strains could be isolated and so I think it makes most sense as a "is_a" child term of 'Smed asexual biotype'

Would rather see parent:child rather than synonym as that relationship is clear and sets a precedent for incorporation of other strains if needed.
