The Characteristics and Importance of Microalgae Culture Collections
Abstract
Whether carried out by the State or Private, Culture Collections are very important for meeting the needs of scientific studies, biotechnology and bio-industries. At the same time, a Collection is the center for the preservation of both, biodiversities and countries’ natural resources. When planning culture collections, it is necessary to take into accounts, the culture species, amount and the preservation method. Along with many methods applied toward culture preservation, lyophilization and cryopreservation are the most widely used in micro algae collections. The necessary criteria, memorandum of agreements (MoA), cooperations with different centers, legal and quality control procedures as laid down by the World Federation of Culture collections, have all been defined.
