BCCM/DCG

The BCCM/DCG culture collection is part of the BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at Ghent University. Our collection is specialized in freshwater and marine diatoms but also hosts dedicated collections of commercially interesting other microalgae. Whereas public deposit is free of charge, we also offer safe deposits. The BCCM/DCG culture collection currently holds over 500 cryopreserved and well-documented diatom strains.
