BCCM/ULC: a source of cyanobacterial diversity for taxonomic, genomic and applied research
The BCCM/ULC public collection (https://bccm.belspo.be/about-us/bccm-ulc) aims to gather a representative portion of terrestrial, freshwater and marine cyanobacterial strains from different ecosystems with a focus on the polar diversity. The collection’s goals are to preserve the deposited biologica...
