The website of the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa has recently been upgraded and the enhanced catalogue search engine provides photographic images of the actual strains in the collection. At present the number of cultures with images is limited but staff are working hard to add more. This is part of CCAP's 5 year Oceans 2025 commitment with NERC and over the next 4-5 years we will be developing our skills to capture still and movie images of those tricky, fast swimming microorganisms!

In additon, the catalogue search engine allows searching under multiple categories including a special taxonomy section.
