  1. Role of Barcoding at Culture Collections Frithjof C. Küpper Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP) Scottish Association for Marine Science Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory Oban, Argyll PA37 1QA, Scotland, UK

  2. Barcoding and Culture Collections Two main aspects: • CCs as repositories of biological standards • Operational benefits of barcode sequences for CCs

  3. Barcoding and Culture Collections Two main aspects: • CCs as repositories of biological standards • Operational benefits of barcode sequences for CCs

  4. Culture collections as repositoriesof biological standards • Long-term safekeeping of type cultures and model / reference strains → Barcode sequences in databases need to be matched by the “real thing“ somewhere: type materials → An emerging role for CCs and other biological resource centers (BRCs)

  5. Barcoding and Culture Collections Two main aspects: • CCs as repositories of biological standards • Operational benefits of barcode sequences for CCs

  6. Operational benefits of barcode sequences for culture collections • Quality control / strain identity • “the dirty little secret of culture collections” → Potential to obtain an unambiguous identifier for every single strain

  7. Credits • Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Chenal de l’Ile de Batz, Roscoff – FCK, 1996
