Abstract

Algae samples were collected from the Central Anatolian Region, including lakes and dam lakes. The algae, which were isolated and grown in a BG-11 medium, were later identified. A total of 17 microalga species have been isolated and cultured from the Central Anatolian Region freshwater resources. The Gazi University Microalgae Culture Collection (GAZI-MACC) contains diverse groups and strains of algae. In this collection, some species are used for toleration against heavy metals and morphological changes and some are used in a variety of experimental studies, such as in determining microalgae toxins and in systematic research studies. The GAZI-MACC is responsible for the following tasks: preservation of the national algae resources, provision of living resources for scientific studies, uses as resources for scientific publications and provision of reliable, confidential, and patented resource services. Collections are in a unique position as the custodians of genetic resources and therefore play a key role in the conservation of genetic resources. This is done through purification, expert preparation, authoritative identification, description, determination of biochemical and other characteristics, comparison with related material, reliable and effective preservation, evaluation of value for biological control uses, and indication of the importance of beneficial and detrimental attributes.

Orta Anadolu (Türkiye) tatlısu kaynaklarından izole edilmiş mikroalglerin üretimi ve koleksiyonu

Abstract

Orta Anadolu Bölgesindeki göl ve barajlardan toplanan algler, BG-11 besi ortamında yetiştirilmiş ve izole edildikten sonra teşhis edilmiştir. Orta Anadolu Bölgesi tatlısu kaynaklarından 17 mikroalg türü izole edilmiş ve kültüre alınmıştır. Gazi Üniversitesi Mikroalg Kültürü Koleksiyonu (GAZI-MACC) çeşitli alg grup ve suşlarını içerir. Bu koleksiyondaki bazı türler sistematik araştırmalar ve mikroalg toksinlerinin belirlenmesi gibi değişik deneysel çalışmalarda kullanılmıştır. GAZI-MACC şu birkaç görevle yükümlüdür: ulusal alg kaynaklarını koruma, bilimsel çalışmalar için canlı kaynak sağlama, bilimsel yayınlar için kaynak olarak kullanılma ve güvenli, gizli ve patentli kaynak hizmeti sağlama. Koleksiyonlar genetik kaynakların koruyucusu olarak eşsiz bir konumdadır ve bu nedenle genetik kaynakların korunmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Koleksiyonlar; saflaştırma, uzman hazırlığı, yetkili teşhis, betimleme, biyokimyasal ve diğer özelliklerin belirlenmesi, ilgili malzeme ile karşılaştırma, güvenli ve etkili koruma, biyolojik kontrol kullanımları için kıymetin değerlendirilmesi ve faydalı ve zararlı özelliklerin öneminin gösterilmesi yoluyla yapılır.
