LGOBANK-CAEN is a rich collection of over 300 strains of marine, brackish, and freshwater microalgae, primarily intended for research and education. Its mission includes the acquisition, validation, study, and distribution of cultivable organisms, with a focus on maintaining validated bioresources through sustainable conservation and active development.

We invite you to explore the website and browse the collection freely (strain profiles, origins, habitats, etc.) without prior registration. However, if you wish to order strains, please create an account first (see the Account / Orders section).
