SYNECHOCYSTIS

Our collection is one of the largest collections of algae in Russia. It has an international status (code IPPAS), and it is a part of the European Association for Culture Collections, ECCO. Registration number in World Data Center is WDC596. The collection contains about 300 strains of unicellular eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria. The collection serves as a reference laboratory and performs service functions. The collection is developing the central information database based on the index, catalog number, and the passport for each individual strain... We developed and constructed photobioreactors for intensive cultivation of different strains of microalgae and cyanobacteria. The technology of biomass production enriched with stable isotopes was developed. A number of algal strains have been selected for controlled production of b-carotene, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, and steroid compounds. The industrial technology have been developed for..
