Summary

Microalgae are one of the most biologically important elements of worldwide ecology and could be the source of diverse new products and medicines. COBRA (Conservation of a vital European scientific and Biotechnological Resource: microAlgae and cyanobacteria) is the acronym for a European Union, RTD Infracstructures project. The central aim is to apply cryopreservation methodologies to microalgae and cyanobacteria, organisms that, to date, have proved difficult to conserve using cryogenic methods.
