Current status of the SERI/NREL Microalgae Culture Collection

Of the strains included in the most recent Culture Collection Catalog (the 1986-1987 edition, including the addendum), 37 are still viable. In addition, approximately 260 additional strains are part of the collection, but were never characterized well enough to be included in the catalog. All of these strains are in the process of being transferred to the University of Hawaii, where they will be maintained within the Center for Marine Biotechnology. The university intends to again make these strains available to the research community. A complete list of the strains still being maintained is included below:
