AbstractThis award renews support for a collection of unicellular marine algae, including both eukaryotic and bacterial strains that make up phytoplankton in the open oceans. The collection also includes a few multicellular algae (seaweeds). Most of the collected strains were first isolated from samples taken in benthic regions of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. However, a significant fraction of the collection is made up of isolates from polar regions that have optimal growth within a few degrees of freezing. The collection provides samples to academic and industrial researchers at a modest charge, and provides help in identification of unknown strains and training in culture techniques on an occasional basis. Because of the importance of phytoplankton in the productivity of the ocean ecosystems, the collection is an important resource for biologists and oceanographers. The collection is the largest and only comprehensive collection of marine algae in the US.

摘要该奖项重申了对一系列单细胞海洋藻类的支持，包括构成公海浮游植物的真核菌株和细菌菌株。 该系列还包括一些多细胞藻类（海藻）。 大多数收集到的菌株首先是从太平洋和大西洋海底区域采集的样本中分离出来的。 然而，收集的很大一部分是由来自极地地区的分离株组成，这些分离株在几度的冰冻范围内具有最佳生长。 该馆藏以低廉的费用向学术和工业研究人员提供样品，并偶尔为鉴定未知菌株和培养技术培训提供帮助。 由于浮游植物在海洋生态系统生产力中的重要性，该收藏品是生物学家和海洋学家的重要资源。 该馆藏是美国最大且唯一的综合性海藻馆藏。
