Description

The Culture Collection of Microalgae and Zygnematophyceae Collection Hamburg (MZCH-SVCK) contains over 550 living strains. Focus of the collection are Zygnematophyceae, especially Desmidiaceae, with multiple isolates collected from different continents. The Zygnematophyceae collection, formerly SVCK (Engels & Mix 1980, Mix 1973) serves as reference strain collection for studies on evolution of streptophytes, ecophysiological adaptations in microalgae and the influence of climate change.
