i 1. CYANOBACTERIAS
Cyanobacteria are microorganisms that, in a prokaryotic organization, are capable of carrying out oxygenic photosynthesis similar to that of higher plants. They are grouped into five Sections, whose basic characteristics are set out below. The Biological Cultures Service of the Isla de la Cartuja Scientific Research Centre has a collection of cyanobacteria with representatives for each of the Sections.
Growing conditions
The most commonly used media for the cultivation of cyanobacteria in the collection are BG11 medium 0 and ASN-III (RippKa et al, 1979). For solid medium it is used Bacto-Agar (1% p/v).
The different strains are cultivated under photoautotrophic conditions in a thermostatically controlled chamber at 30°C.
Sections
Unicellular; single cells or forming aggregates surrounded by additional outer cell wall layers | Reproduction by binary division or by budding | Section I | |
Reproduction by multiple fission giving rise to small daughter cells (baeocytes) or by multiple fission and binary fission. | Section II | ||
Filamentous; a trichome (chain of cells) that grows by division of intercalary cells | Reproduction by formation of hormogonia, by random breaking of the trichome, and (4th and 5th s.) sometimes by germination of akinetes. | Trichome always composed of vegetative cells | Division in a plane Section III |
In the absence of combined nitrogen the trichomes have heterocysts, some also akinetes | Division in a plane Section IV | ||
Division into more than one plane Section V |

2. ALGAE
Algae are eukaryotic organisms (with numerous exceptions), aquatic (with frequent exceptions), autotrophic with oxygenic photosynthesis and with a smaller size and a less complex structure than terrestrial plants. It is a non-monophyletic group of organisms for which, depending on the authors, different phyla or divisions can be distinguished: Glaucophyta, Euglenophyta, Cryptophyta, Haptophytes, Dinophytes, Ochrophytes, Rhodophytes and Chlorophytes (see main characteristics in the following table). The Biological Cultures Service of the Isla de la Cartuja Scientific Research Centre has a collection of microalgae with representatives of these Divisions.
Growing conditions
The medium used for the cultivation of the microalgae in the collection varies depending on the strain in question. As a general rule, the microalgae are maintained in a solidified medium with Bacto-agar (1% w/v), or in a liquid medium in culture tubes.
The different strains are cultivated under photoautotrophic conditions in a thermostatically controlled chamber at 25°C.

3. ESCHERICHIA COLI
Escherichia coli is an enterobacteria that is widely used in molecular biology work. It is a fast-growing bacterium whose genome sequence is known and which allows the introduction of exogenous DNA, either by transformation, transduction or electroporation. The Biological Culture Service has a collection of Escherichia coli strains that is used by IBVF members in recombinant DNA work.
