Algal Resources Collection

ARC specializes in mass culturing of sensitive marine and freshwater microalgae that are challenging to grow on a large scale. We are also experts in finding the proper medias for difficult to culture species and isolating species from wild samples. Our main group of focus are dinoflagellates, but we have recently expanded our services to include diatoms, such as Haslea sp., and freshwater species, such as the green algae Oophila sp. ARC also provides toxin analysis, DNA extraction and sequencing, photomicrographs, and HPLC pigment analysis.
