About Us

About Us

About Us

The CCALA team consists of a curator and two technical staff members who take care of the collection and its day-to-day operation.

Curator

Mgr. Josef Juráň, Ph.D. 

At CCALA, Josef Juráň serves as curator of the culture collection and works as a phycologist with a particular interest in freshwater microalgae. Within the collection, he is involved in its scientific development, the acquisition and documentation of new strains, communication with depositors and users, and keeping the collection aligned with current taxonomic knowledge. His main research focus is on euglenoids (Euglenophyta), especially their taxonomy, ecology, diversity and biogeography. He also works with other freshwater algae and has extensive experience with the isolation and cultivation of microalgae and cyanobacteria. Alongside his work at CCALA, he teaches phycology and algal cultivation at the University of South Bohemia and participates in student supervision. He is also involved in science communication and the popularization of algae, cyanobacteria and microscopic life.

Laboratory Staff

Bohuslava Zahradníková and Vlasta Titlová are members of the technical staff of the CCALA Culture Collection. Their work focuses on the day-to-day maintenance of algal and cyanobacterial cultures and on ensuring the smooth operation of the collection’s laboratory facilities. They are involved in routine cultivation, transfer and maintenance of strains, preparation of culture media and other laboratory tasks essential for keeping the cultures in good condition. Their work contributes to the long-term preservation and availability of the biological material maintained at CCALA.

Can’t Find “Your Alga”?

Can’t Find “Your Alga”?

Can’t Find “Your Alga”?

At CCALA, we do our best to keep the species names in our strain collection up to date with the latest scientific findings. Taxonomy is a living and continuously developing field, and algae are no exception. As new molecular, morphological, ecological, and phylogenetic data become available, scientists may revise how organisms are classified and named.

As a result, a species listed in our collection may sometimes appear under a different name than the one you are familiar with. This does not necessarily mean that the species has disappeared from CCALA. In many cases, it may have been renamed, transferred to another genus, merged with another taxon, or updated according to recent taxonomic research.

Why species names change

Scientific names change when new evidence improves our understanding of the relationships between organisms. In algae, this happens relatively often, especially as DNA-based methods reveal relationships that were not visible from morphology alone.

A taxonomic update may involve:

  • transfer of a species to a different genus,

  • replacement of an older name with a currently accepted one,

  • recognition of a former name as a synonym,

  • correction of spelling, authorship, or classification,

  • revision of the boundaries of a species or group.

These changes help keep scientific naming consistent with current knowledge, even though they can sometimes make it more difficult to find a familiar organism under its older name.

How to check the current accepted name

If you cannot find a species in our catalogue under the name you know, we recommend checking AlgaeBase, a widely used international database for algal taxonomy. AlgaeBase can help you trace older names, synonyms, and currently accepted names, as well as updated taxonomic placements.

When searching, it may be useful to check whether:

  • the species has been moved to a different genus,

  • the name is now treated as a synonym,

  • the spelling or authorship has changed,

  • the organism is listed under a more recent accepted name.

  • Need help finding a strain?

If you are unsure whether a particular species is present in our collection, or if you need help tracing a strain after a taxonomic update, please contact our curator - Josef Juráň, Josef.Juran@ibot.cas.cz. We will be happy to help you determine whether the organism is available under a new name, an older synonym, or a related taxon.

Our aim is to make the information in the CCALA catalogue as accurate, current, and easy to navigate as possible.

Thank you for understanding that changes in scientific names reflect the ongoing development of taxonomic research and are a natural part of working with biological collections.

Strain Deposition

Strain Deposition

Strain deposition

The CCALA collection accepts cyanobacterial and algae cultures especially associated with taxonomic research (reference strains for new genus and species), cultures from interesting habitats or strains with biotechnological potencial. 

If you are interested in depositing the cultures, it is advisable to arrange in advance with the curator of the collection - Mgr. Josef Juráň, Ph.D. (Josef.Juran@ibot.cas.cz). 

The deposited culture must meet the following rules:

  1. Cyanobacteria and algae cultures correspond to the following requirements may be deposited to the CCALA collection:
    1. the material will be physically delivered to the collection;
    2. the cultures will be unialgalcontaining only one species of cyanobacteria or algae.;
    3. the cultures will be axeniccontaining only cyanobacteria or algae, without any other microorganisms. or xeniccultures containing small quantities of other microorganisms in addition to cyanobacteria or algae.;
    4. in the case of xenic cultures, only a small amount of bacterial contamination is possible; in special cases (at the decision of the curator) cultures contaminated with small amounts of filamentous fungi may be accepted; culturers contaminated by protozoa will not be accepted into the collection or will be rejected during quarantine;
    5. the deposited material will be accompanied by a signed deposit protocol (download here), or other necessary documentation;
    6. the deposited material will correspond the conditions set out in the Nagoya Protocoloverview of individual signatories of the protocol and conditions of access to their genetic resources are managed by ABSCH - the Access and Benefit-Sharing Clearing-house (https://absch.cbd.int/)..
  2. If the culture contains a genetically modified organismgenetically modified organism is an organism whose genetic material has been intentionally changed in a way that is not possible to achieve by natural recombination. According valid legislation related to GMO., its deposition must be discussed with the curator in advance.
  3. A strain could be deposited in the CCALA collection if it correspond at least one of the following conditions related to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocoloverview of individual signatories of the protocol and conditions of access to their genetic resources are managed by ABSCH - the Access and Benefit-Sharing Clearing-house (https://absch.cbd.int/)..
    1. was acquired before 12th October 2014;
    2. originates in a country which is not a signatory of  the Nagoya Protocol;
    3. originates in a country which is a signatory to the Nagoya Protocol but does not regulate access to its genetic resources;
    4. was obtained after 2014 in one of the countries that are signatories to the Nagoya Protocol and regulate access to their genetic resources, but it is with complete required documentation.
  4. If the conditions (points 1 and 3) are met, the deposited strain will receive an unofficial collection number and will be kept in quarantine mode for at least 3 months.
  5. After the quarantine, the strain will be checked and if it meets the above-mentioned material quality conditions (points 1b. - 1d.), It will be included in the collection assortment under the official number.
  6. In case of keeping the strain in the private (non-public) part of the collection is this service is charged according to the valid price list of the CCALA collection.
  7. The collection reserves the right not to accept deposited strains that do not meet some conditions listed above (points 1 and 3) or discard and transmit material during the quarantine period and return them to the depositor no later than 6 months after the physical delivery of the material to the collection.

Cultures maintenance and Media

Cultures maintenance and Media

Cultures maintenance and Media

Cultures maintenance conditions

  • Strains are maintained in test tubes or in 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks placed on racks with glass shelves. Cultures are maintained under static conditions and are handled aseptically during transfers.

  • The cultures are kept in air-conditioned rooms under controlled temperature conditions: 21°C for selected strains, mainly cyanobacteria and freshly prepared cultures intended for customers, and 16°C for most cyanobacterial and algal strains maintained long term. Polar strains are kept in glass-door refrigerators at approximately 10°C.

  • Cultures are illuminated using panels of LED light tubes providing approximately 15–35 μmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹. The photoperiod is set to a 12 h light / 12 h dark cycle.

  • Strains are transferred to fresh media at approximately 3–4 month intervals using media appropriate for each strain or taxonomic group. Maintenance conditions may be adjusted according to the specific requirements of individual strains.

  • Cultures are regularly inspected for growth, viability, and possible contamination

Media receipts

  • Culture media are prepared according to standardised recipes using distilled or deionised water and chemicals of analytical grade or chemically pure quality.

  • The pH is adjusted as required before sterilisation.

  • Media are sterilised by autoclaving. Solid media are prepared by adding agar to a final concentration of 1.5%.

  • Heat-sensitive components are prepared as stock solutions, sterilised separately by membrane filtration, and added aseptically after the medium has cooled.

Handling of Received Cultures

Handling of Received Cultures

Handling of Received Cultures

Critical Points

The culture may be stressed after transport. Handle it gently and avoid sudden changes in temperature, light intensity or medium composition.

  • Unpack and inspect the culture immediately.

  • Avoid direct sunlight, overheating, freezing and sudden light or temperature changes.

  • Allow the culture to acclimatise before intensive manipulation.

  • Work aseptically and use fresh sterile medium.

  • Do not over-dilute weak cultures during the first transfer.

  • Keep the original culture as a backup until new growth is confirmed.

Upon Arrival

  • Unpack the culture immediately after delivery. Check the tube or flask for leakage, breakage, drying of agar, unusual colour, turbidity or visible contamination. If the culture appears damaged or in poor condition, document it with photographs before further manipulation.

  • Inspect the culture before transfer. Whenever possible, check the culture microscopically to assess cell condition, density and possible contamination. Do not rely only on the colour of the culture, as some strains grow at very low cell densities.

Initial Acclimatisation

  • Allow the culture to acclimatise gradually. Place it under the recommended cultivation conditions, preferably under low to moderate light at first. Avoid direct sunlight, overheating, freezing, prolonged darkness and abrupt temperature changes.

  • Do not refrigerate the culture unless specifically recommended. Some strains tolerate low temperatures, but others may be damaged by cold storage. Keep the vessel closed, but avoid excessive tightening if gas exchange is required. Do not open the culture unnecessarily before transfer.

Aseptic Handling

  • Use aseptic technique for all manipulations. Work in a laminar flow cabinet whenever possible. Use sterile media, sterile vessels and sterile pipettes or inoculation loops. Minimise the time the culture vessel remains open.

Transfer into Fresh Medium

  • Subculture the strain into fresh sterile medium after initial acclimatisation. In most cases, transfer should be performed within a few days after receipt. If the culture appears strongly stressed, it may be preferable to let it recover for 1–2 days under suitable conditions before subculturing. 
  • Do not dilute weak or stressed cultures too much during the first transfer. For routine transfer into liquid medium, inoculate a portion of the received culture into fresh sterile medium. A moderate dilution, for example approximately 1:2 to 1:5, is usually safer for the first recovery transfer than a very high dilution. Dense and healthy cultures may be diluted more.
  • Keep part of the original received culture as a backup. Do not discard the original tube or flask immediately after transfer. Keep it under suitable conditions until active growth is clearly visible in the new culture.

Culture Subculturing and Transfer

  • Transfer from Liquid Culture to Liquid Medium

  1. Gently homogenize the liquid culture if appropriate. Avoid vigorous shaking, foaming, or excessive disturbance of the culture.

  2. Using a sterile pipette, transfer an appropriate volume of the liquid culture into fresh sterile liquid medium in a sterile tube or flask.

  3. Close the tube or flask properly and incubate under the recommended light, temperature, and other strain-specific conditions.

  • Transfer from Agar to Liquid Medium
  1. Using a sterile loop, gently collect a small amount of culture from the agar surface. Avoid excessive scraping or damaging of the agar surface.

  2. Transfer the culture into fresh sterile liquid medium in a sterile tube or flask.

  3. Close the tube or flask properly and incubate under the recommended light, temperature, and other strain-specific conditions.

  • Transfer onto Agar Medium
  1. Using a sterile loop or sterile pipette, collect a small amount of culture from the source culture.

  2. Gently streak or spread the culture over the surface of fresh sterile agar medium.

  3. Avoid breaking, tearing, or excessively disturbing the agar surface.

  4. Close or seal the agar slant appropriately and incubate under the recommended light, temperature, and other strain-specific conditions.

Follow-up Monitoring

  • Monitor the culture regularly after transfer. Check for recovery, growth, colour change, clumping, contamination or drying of agar. Some strains resume growth within a few days, while slow-growing or transport-stressed strains may require several weeks.

  • Follow strain-specific instructions whenever available. Optimal medium, temperature, light intensity, salinity, transfer interval and growth rate can differ substantially among algal and cyanobacterial strains.

CCALA Strains in Research

CCALA Strains in Research

CCALA Strains in Research

An indicative overview of the reference list shows that CCALA strains (or their metadata) are most frequently used in taxonomy, systematics and phylogenetics, followed by biotechnology-oriented research, physiological studies, biochemical and metabolomic analyses, ecology and biodiversity studies, environmental applications and, more recently, astrobiology-related experiments. Because several publications combine more than one research field, the thematic distribution should be interpreted as an approximate classification based on the main focus of each study.
