The conservation of a vital european scientific and biotechnological resource : microalgae and cyanobacteria (COBRA)

Objective

COBRA involves the development of a unique European biological resource centre based on existing algal/cyan bacterial collections. This will, for the first time, utilise cry preservation as a standard technique to ensure genetic stability of conserved strains, thus providing the biotechnology community with the organisms they require and guaranteeing their long-term availability and stability. It will form the essential and underpinning foundation of a European algal biotechnology sector. The project will result in novel, effective preservation protocols capable of preserving currently "preservation recalcitrant" strains and also a series of strain stability test protocols to ensure equivalent strains of micro-organisms supplied by European Collections will give high quality and consistent performance.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
