Preface
This volume aims to outline the value of algal culture collections to
the user community and, at the same time, presents the proceedings of
an international meeting held in 2002, which provided a forum for
algal culture collections from all over the world to improve
interactions among them.
Culture Collection of Algae have, in essence two key functions: They
provide consistency and quality, traceable source material and
information. They are, de facto, sources of biological standards and
without these standards comparative taxonomic, physiological,
ecotoxicological and ex situ ecological studies are impossible or, at
best, problematic. The value of collections to the user community is
widely recognized, not least in that they provide cultures that are
often difficult or virtually impossible to re-isolate from their
natural habitats, even when the original source is known and
accessible. They provide a store of well characterized diversity for
research and/or exploitation. The holdings of algal collections are
extremely diverse and it is the collections' aim to make available and
conserve ex situ as much of the great morphological and genetic
biodiversity of microalgae as possible. For phylogenetic and taxonomic
studies authentic strains, i.e. cultures derived from the material
used for the original description and naming of the species, are
particularly useful - these and the vast literature published on the
algal culture collections' holdings make them irreplaceable and unique
international resources.
The importance of maintaining biological resources for both scientific
reasons and for possible future exploitation, or sustainable
development, is receiving increasing international attention. Various
initiatives highlight the unique value of culture collections as
Biological Resource Centers (BRCs), the need to support and expand
their holdings, and the importance of improving collaborations among
collections. These initiatives served as a stimulus for the
international symposium "Culture Collections of Algae: Increasing
Accessibility and Exploring Algal Biodiversity", held at the Sammlung
von Algenkulturen (SAG) at the University of Göttingen, Germany,
September 2-6 2002. An excellent review of the meeting has been
published by B. Surek in Protist 153, 343355, 2002.
The 21 papers in this volume reflect the main topics of the meeting:
the majority of the sessions were devoted to presentations by culture
collections including historical aspects of culturing microalgae (the
first thirteen papers in this volume, pp. 1-173) and the
Cryopreservation of Microalgae (J.J. Brand & K.R. Diller, pp. 175-189;
J.G. Day, pp. 191-205; K. Harding et al., pp. 207-226; H.C. Osório et
al., pp. 227-235). In the first section of this volume we tried to
provide a forum, particularly for smaller culture collections, which
have had fewer opportunities, to date, to gain exposure in the
scientific mainstream. Two further sessions of the meeting clearly
showed the function of culture collections as valuable sources of
research material, i.e. Taxonomy and Evolution of Microalgae and
Cyanobacteria (D.G. Mann & V.A. Chepurnov, pp. 237-291; K. Comte et
al., pp. 293-311) and Applications of rDNA Probes and DNA Microarray
Techniques (R. Groben et al., pp. 313-320; K. Metfies & L.K. Medlin,
pp. 321-327). It is hoped that these papers have highlighted some
examples of the value of collections to the phycological community and
further stimulate their scientific exploitation.
