MRI: Acquisition of New Culture Chambers for the CCMP

在罗伯特·A·安德森博士的指导下，毕格罗海洋科学实验室获得了一个奖项，为海洋浮游植物培养收藏购买新的培养室。浮游植物的活培养对于希望详细研究这些从海洋栖息地分离出来的生物的生理学、生态学和遗传学的研究人员来说是必不可少的。对于全世界500多名科学家来说，这些藏品是一个重要的资源，他们将这些培养物用于浮游植物的基础和应用研究。新的培养室将取代20多年前安装的旧的破旧培养室，这些室面临灾难性故障的危险。该实验室每年举办为期一周的浮游植物养殖技术课程，并为大学、学院、当地学校和普通公众举办开放日。

An award has been made to the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences under the direction of Dr. Robert A. Andersen to acquire new culture chambers for the Culture Collection of Marine Phytoplankton. Living culture of phytoplankton are essential for researchers who wish to study in detail the physiology, ecology, and genetics of these organisms isolated from their oceanic habitat. The collection is a vital resource for more than 500 scientists worldwide who use the cultures in basic and applied research on phytoplankton. The new culture chambers will replace old dilapidated chambers that were installed more than 20 years ago and are in danger of catastrophic failure. The laboratory holds an annual week-long course on phytoplankton culturing techniques, and hosts open houses for universities, colleges, local schools and the general public.
