The BCCM/ULC collection of cyanobacteria in the spotlight at ULiège
The ULC public collection of cyanobacteria belongs since 2011 to the consortium of Belgian Co-Ordinated Collections of Microorganisms (BCCM). It aims to conserve ‘ex situ’ a representative portion of the biodiversity of cyanobacterial diversity of different origins, with a focus on Antarctic and Art...
