| Comment | This culture collection started on the year 1986 mainly isolating benthic cyanobacteria from the estuarine areas from Patos Lagoon and the South Atlantic coasts in Southern Brazil. In the 1990 yearss included other strains donated for research from European and American Collection Cultures. From the years 2000 uo to now, the collection has isolated and included mainly planktonic cyanobacterial forms specially those with toxin production capacities. |
