Culture Collection
The ASYA (psychrotolerant) and ARAS (mesophilic) collections comprise microalgae and cyanobacteria strains isolated from Türkiye and Antarctica, maintained under standard conditions and made accessible for research and product development. A total of 108 strains are sustained in agar and liquid formats under programmable temperature–light regimes (mesophilic: 25 °C / 40 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹; psychrotolerant: 4–15 °C / 50 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹). Access is provided via request form and online sales.
