| Abstract: |
The BCCM/ULC public culture collection of cyanobacteria is a member of the Belgian Coordinated Collections of Microorganisms and has received an ISO9001 certification for the public deposits and distribution. It is also part of the Belgian node of the European Research Infrastructure of microbial collections: MIRRI-ERIC. In addition to deposits and distributions of strains, it proposes other services like trainings or molecular characterisations of cyanobacteria. There are marine cyanobacterial strains in the collection.
The marine research is mainly conducted in the group Cyanobacterial Diversity, Phylogeny and Biogeography (e.g. Planktonic cyanobacteria forming toxic blooms in surface waters and Biogeography of polar cyanobacteria (Antarctic and Arctic)). A. Wilmotte is also involved in the environmental protection of the Antarctic, being member of the Belgian delegation to the Antarctic Treaty. |
