They provide consistency and quality, traceable source material and information. In addition, they provide a store of well characterised diversity for research and/or exploitation. Without collections, comparative research on cultures is at best problematic and in many cases impossible. Worldwide there are hundreds of algal collections in specialized laboratories and institutes. However, it is the major service collections that form the "backbone"of the curatorial and service roles for the phycological community as a whole. Four of the largest culture collections: CCALA, CCAP, SAG and UTEX can all trace their origins back to the pioneering work of Prof E.G. Pringsheim. His work and the inspiration he provided to others have ensured that these collections continue to develop to fulfil the requirements of current and future generations of phycologists.
