Ex-situ Conservation of Polar Cyanobacteria in the BCCM/ULC Collection
The BCCM/ULC public collection is funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) and aims to gather a representative portion of Polar cyanobacterial diversity from different ecological origins (limnetic microbial mats, soil crusts, cryoconites, endoliths, etc.) and ensure their ex-situ conserv...
