The Roscoff Culture Collection (RCC) maintains about 2450 strains of marine phytoplankton and of viruses infecting phytoplankton. It focuses in particular on coccoid cyanobacteria (Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus), picoeucaryotes and coccolithophorids.  Strains originate from a very wide range of oceanic regions from the tropics to the arctic, through temperate seas.

    

 

If you are located in a European Union research laboratory you may qualify to get free strains through the ASSEMBLE program.  All details are here .
