Research areas:

CCBA at Institute of Oceanography UG maintains the strains of Baltic and a more limited number of freshwater microalgae and small multicellular seaweeds collected from a wide range of habitats. The culture collection specializes in the Polish region and conducts continuous enlargement of the resources by addition of new strains. The cultures are unialgal, mostly non-axenic. Strains are available for research and education purposes without any fee. They are available for purchase by commercial enterprises. Some of them are available for distribution, while other are still in the process of being described or studied.
