Welcome Welcome to the CCCryo website and our online catalogue. The Culture Collection of Cryophilic Algae is hosted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology at its Branch for Bioanalytics and Bioprocesses (IZI-BB) in Potsdam-Golm near Berlin. The CCCryo is specialised on cryophilic freshwater and permafrost microalgae from polar and alpine environments, the so-called snow algae. First strains were collected on an expedition to Spitsbergen in 1999 and since then research on the phylogeny, ecology, and adaptations of this group of extremophiles is being performed at our institute. Purpose The CCCryo serves as a bioresource of extremophiles for public and industrial research. Strains may be ordered via these websites. For detailed information on current studies performed at the IZI-BB please refer to the website of the institution's group Extremophile Research. ECCO, WFCC and other database resources The CCCryo is a member of the European Culture Collections’ Organisation (ECCO) and is registered at the World Federation of Culture Collections (WFCC) as WDCM940. Strains or species may also be searched via the Global Catalogue of Microorganisms. We are also dataset providers for the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Last database update: 05 December 2024 Please enable Java-Script for best comfort.
