Australian National Algae Culture Collection

The Australian National Algae Culture Collection (ANACC) is housed at the Hobart laboratories of CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. The collection consists of 1000 strains of more than 300 microalgae species. The collection includes representatives from all classes of marine microalgae, some freshwater microalgae, and unusual marine microheterotrophs. The culture collection specialises in the Australian region, with microalgae from tropical to polar waters, as well as microalgae from around the world. Many Australian strains are genetically and biochemically different from those found elsewhere. Strains include: - nutritionally important microalgae for aquaculture feeds and human health - microalgal biodiversity for biotechnology - ecologically significant microalgae including bloom-forming and toxic strains for environmental management - reference cultures for pigment standards used in oceanography and water quality analyses. Housed in world-class microalgal culture facilities, the collection is a resource for investigations into the growth, physiology, taxonomy, biodiversity, chemistry and molecular genetics of microalgae. The facility specialises in: - isolation and culture of microalgae strains - bacteria-free culture techniques - growth optimisation and manipulation - biomass production - microalgal taxonomy - chemical and biochemical analytical capability - molecular and genetic techniques. The Collection Strain Database is accessible online (see data links).

澳大利亚国家藻类培养物保藏中心（Australian National Algae Culture Collection, ANACC）设于澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）海洋与大气研究部霍巴特实验室。该保藏中心目前馆藏1000余株培养物，涵盖超过300个微藻（microalgae）物种，其类群覆盖海洋微藻的所有纲级单元，同时包含部分淡水微藻及罕见的海洋微异养生物（microheterotrophs）。

该保藏中心以澳大利亚区域物种为核心馆藏特色，馆藏微藻既包含源自澳洲热带至极地水域的菌株，也涵盖来自全球各地的微藻资源。诸多澳大利亚本土菌株在遗传与生化特性上均与其他区域的同类菌株存在显著差异。馆藏菌株可分为以下几类：
- 用于水产养殖饲料及人类健康的高营养价值微藻；
- 可支撑生物技术研发的微藻生物多样性资源；
- 具有重要生态意义的微藻，包括可形成水华的有毒菌株，用于环境管理相关研究；
- 用于海洋学与水质分析的色素标准参考培养物。

该中心配备世界一流的微藻培养设施，是开展微藻生长、生理、分类学、生物多样性、化学及分子遗传学研究的重要资源。该中心的技术特色与研究方向包括：
- 微藻菌株的分离与培养；
- 无菌培养技术；
- 生长优化与调控；
- 生物质生产；
- 微藻分类学研究；
- 化学与生化分析能力；
- 分子与遗传实验技术。

该保藏中心的菌株数据库可通过线上渠道访问（详见数据链接）。
