Objective
Rumen protozoa play a major role in ruminant digestion and have clear economic significance in terms of animal agriculture. They are also of interest in the study of evolutionary biology. Studies on rumen protozoa are currently hampered byte lack of a comprehensive culture collection. It is not possible to culture rumen protozoa in acetic culture and only a limited number of groups have been able to establish the techniques required to maintain protozoa either in vitro Orin vivo. There is currently no co-ordination between these centres resulting induplication of effort, reducing the number of individual species maintained. The proposal is to co-ordinate existing facilities within the EU to produce a virtual culture collection for the EU. To enhance this facility cryogenic and molecular techniques will be developed to allow these ciliates to be distributed to other laboratories within the EU.
