Algal Identification - Culturing Facility of North Queensland (NQAIF)

区域一体化热带藻类鉴定-培养设施NQAIF；这是世界上第一个这样的实验室，将建立和容纳热带浮游植物培养物，以便在受控环境条件下对海洋和淡水热带浮游植物进行新的和加强现有的实验研究。该设施将在北昆士兰建立世界级的专业知识，并为澳大拉西亚太平洋地区建立知识库。NQAIF将显著促进热带水质研究领域的高质量国家和国际合作联系；浮游植物毒性;寻找新的生物活性化合物；可持续热带水产养殖和珊瑚白化。

NQAIF, a regionally integrated tropical algal identification - culturing facility; the first of its kind in the world, will establish and house tropical phytoplankton cultures to enable new and enhance existing experimental research on marine and freshwater tropical phytoplankton under controlled environmental conditions. The facility will establish world-class expertise in North Queensland and create the knowledge base for the Australasian Pacific regions. NQAIF will significantly boost high quality national and international collaborative links in the research areas of tropical water quality; phytoplankton toxicity; the search for novel bioactive compounds; sustainable tropical aquaculture and coral bleaching.
