ULC Cyanobacteria Collection

BCCM/ULC is a small and dedicated public collection, currently containing one of the largest collections of documented (sub)polar cyanobacteria worldwide. The BCCM/ULC collection is hosted by the In-Bios research unit of the University of Liège. The host Unit is very active in research projects concerning the cyanobacterial diversity and biogeography, with a focus on polar biotopes. The participation to field expeditions in the Antarctic and Arctic has enabled to collect samples in many locations. Moreover, taxonomic research is carried out by the host Unit to improve the classification of the cyanobacterial phylum.

BCCM/ULC 是一个小型且专注的公共收藏馆，目前拥有全球最大的（亚）极地蓝藻细菌文献收藏之一。该 BCCM/ULC 收藏馆由列日大学的 In-Bios 研究单位托管。托管单位在涉及蓝藻多样性及生物地理学的研究项目中表现活跃，尤其关注极地生物群落。参与南极和北极的实地考察使得在众多地点收集样本成为可能。此外，托管单位还开展分类学研究，以优化蓝藻门类的分类。
