9512746 Brand This award renews support of a project aimed at development of improved methods for cryopreservation of single-celled algae, and use of these methods for the freezing of strains now found in the UTEX collection of freshwater algae. The collection includes a variety of algae, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The use of cryopreservation allows more confidence that the unique genetic characteristics of organisms are being preserved than does the use of serial transfer, the most common method for maintenance of stocks of the kinds of algae found in the UTEX collection. In addition, the development and use of such methods should lessen the time and expense required for routine storage of such strains by collections and by individual investigators who work with these organisms. ***

9512746品牌该奖项再次支持一个项目，该项目旨在开发单细胞藻类冷冻保存的改进方法，并使用这些方法冷冻目前在UTEX淡水藻类收集中发现的菌株。 该系列包括各种藻类，包括原核和真核。 使用冷冻保存比使用连续转移更有信心地保存生物体的独特遗传特征，连续转移是维持UTEX收集中发现的藻类种类的最常见方法。 此外，这些方法的开发和使用应减少收集和与这些生物体一起工作的个体研究者对这些菌株进行常规储存所需的时间和费用。 ***
