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. These are listed in the [http://www.marine.csiro.au/algaedb/default.htm Collection Strain Database].

Aligned with the collection is the CSIRO Microalgae Supply Service which provides microalgal strains as 'starter cultures' to industry, research organisations and universities in more than 50 countries. The service is the supplier of starter cultures to the Australian aquaculture industry, for which microalgae are the essential first foods for larval and juvenile animals.

+Biodiversity research+
The Australian National Algae Culture Collection (ANACC) is one of the CSIRO's National Biological Collections, which contribute to the goal of providing practical, science-based solutions to halt biodiversity decline in Australia.

In this context, the algae collection is a resource for research on algal diversity, distribution, richness and taxonomic relationships, including those of economic importance and environmental concern.

It supports information sharing for research, community benefit, policy development and conservation, and contributes to international endeavours including the Network of Asia-Oceania Algal Culture Collections and the Barcode of Life.

澳大利亚国家藻类培养保藏中心（Australian National Algae Culture Collection, ANACC）坐落于澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）海洋与大气研究部的霍巴特实验室。

该保藏中心现保存有300余种微藻的1000余株菌株，相关菌株信息可通过[http://www.marine.csiro.au/algaedb/default.htm 菌株保藏数据库]查询获取。

配套该保藏中心的CSIRO微藻供应服务中心，可为全球50余个国家的工业界、科研机构及高校提供微藻菌株‘起始培养物’。该服务同时为澳大利亚水产养殖业提供起始培养物，而微藻是该产业中幼体与稚龄水产动物不可或缺的初始饵料。

【生物多样性研究】
澳大利亚国家藻类培养保藏中心（ANACC）是CSIRO国家生物馆藏体系的组成部分，该体系致力于为遏制澳大利亚生物多样性衰退提供务实的科学解决方案。在此框架下，该藻类保藏中心可作为研究藻类多样性、分布、物种丰富度及分类学关系的核心资源，涵盖兼具经济价值与环境关注度的藻类类群。该中心支持科研信息共享，以服务于学术研究、社会公益、政策制定与生物保护工作，并积极参与国际合作项目，包括亚太-大洋洲藻类培养保藏联盟与生命条形码计划。
