LSCBR: The Provasoli-Guillard National Center for Culture of Marine Phytoplankton

毕格罗海洋科学实验室是长期存在的普罗瓦索利-吉拉德国家海洋浮游植物培养中心(CCMP)的所在地。CCMP是美国最大的海洋浮游植物种群。国内用户基础广泛，包括学术界、工业界、政府实验室和教育界。由于收藏范围广、知名度高，CCMP还为庞大的国际用户群提供服务。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。这个实验室是收集这些生物的绝佳地点，因为它有许多致力于海洋微生物研究的科学家。该设施位于缅因州海湾，拥有多年成功运营CCMP的经验。这笔赠款为CCMP提供了五年的维护支持。各种研究人员都可以培养海洋古菌、细菌和病毒，从而节省了他们从世界海洋中收集生物的时间和费用。毕格罗实验室还为高中生和大学生提供课程、研讨会和实习机会。

The Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences is the home for the long-standing Provasoli-Guillard National Center for Culture of Marine Phytoplankton (CCMP). CCMP is the largest US collection of marine phytoplankton. The domestic user base is wide-ranging and includes academe, industry, government labs and education. Because the collection is extensive and well-known, CCMP serves a large international user base as well. Bigelow Laboratory and the (CCMP) have demonstrated that they can operate a large and highly used marine algal culture collection. This laboratory is an excellent site for these collections because of its many scientists who are dedicated to marine research on microscopic organisms. The facility is situated on the Gulf of Maine, and it has many years of experience successfully operating the CCMP. This grant provides five years of maintenance support for CCMP.Cultures of marine archaea, bacteria, and viruses are made available to a diversity of researchers saving them time and expense of collecting the organisms from the oceans of the world. The Bigelow Laboratory also offers courses, workshops, and internships for high school and college students.
