Collection of pure cultures of algae and cyanobacteria for research, teaching and biotechnological applications (Nature Research Centre, Lithuania) [Dumblių ir melsvabakterių kolekcija mokslui, mokymui ir biotechnologiniams tyrimams (Gamtos tyrimų centras, Lietuva)]

Santrauka The collection of pure cultures of algae and cyanobacteria deposited at the Nature Research Centre is a unique and diverse culture collection in Lithuania. It was initiated on the basis of a few national projects in 2010 as an outcome of ecological and molecular studies on invasive and harmful bloom-forming algae and cyanobacteria. To date, the collection holds more than 500 strains, which belong to ten classes, over 70 genera and 140 species. Strains were isolated from Lithuanian freshwaters and the Curonian Lagoon. The collection serves for various research topics including species interactions, molecular analysis, biotechnology (remediation of wastewaters, cell wall disruption, high- and low-value bioproducts), as well as for teaching purposes.
