Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is awarded a grant to establish two new marine culture collections. They plan to organize these collections with the existing Provasoli-Guillard National Center for Culture of Marine Phytoplankton (CCMP) to utilize the collections infrastructure of the CCMP. They request funds to purchase the equipment necessary to house, maintain these culture collections to establish quality control policies, and for identifying the culture strains. Bigelow Laboratory and the (CCMP) have demonstrated that they can operate a large and highly used marine algal culture collection. Bigelow Laboratory is an outstanding site for these collections because of its many scientists who are dedicated to marine research on microscopic organisms, it is situated on the Gulf of Maine, and it has 27 years of experience successfully operating the CCMP. Broader Impacts: Cultures of marine archaea, bacteria, and viruses will be made available to researchers, saving them time and expense to obtain the organisms from the oceans of the world. In addition, the Bigelow Laboratory offers courses, workshops, and internships for high school and college students, and attempts to interest the general public in their research.

毕格罗海洋科学实验室获得一笔赠款，用于建立两个新的海洋养殖场。他们计划与现有的普罗瓦索利-吉拉德国家海洋浮游植物养殖中心(CCMP)一起组织这些收藏，以利用CCMP的收藏基础设施。他们要求资金购买必要的设备来存放和维护这些培养物收藏，以建立质量控制政策，并用于鉴定培养物菌株。毕格罗实验室和世界藻类保护委员会(CCMP)已经证明，他们可以运营大量使用率很高的海洋藻类养殖收藏。毕格罗实验室是这些收集的杰出地点，因为它有许多致力于海洋微生物研究的科学家，它位于缅因湾，拥有27年成功运营CCMP的经验。更广泛的影响：将向研究人员提供海洋古生菌、细菌和病毒的培养，为他们从世界海洋中获取生物体节省时间和费用。此外，毕格罗实验室为高中生和大学生提供课程、研讨会和实习机会，并试图让公众对他们的研究感兴趣。
