About The Extreme Environment (EE) Collection

Extreme Environment Algae are strains of terrestrial algae collected from various extreme environments such as Antarctica and the Gobi Desert. This collection maintained by Dr. Imre Friedmann has been deposited in the Culture Collection of Algae at The University of Texas. These strains have now been cryopreserved and are maintained in indefinite storage under liquid nitrogen. Some of them are well documented and their characteristics described; others have only been identified to family. Information on the documented strains will be added to this web site as time permits. The extreme environment algae collection was deposited in 2003 and formally accessioned into UTEX February 2005.

Strain Information Only


Certain algal strains are no longer available for purchase through UTEX. Given that numerous research articles and publications, particularly those from earlier periods, may continue to reference specific UTEX strains, we will maintain and provide all accessible strain data for reference and informational purposes. In instances where these unavailable strains are cited, a related or sister strain may be found in the Algae Details section, which could present an alternative Culture Collection from which to acquire it.

Additionally, we recommend utilizing the "Search by Strain" feature on the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) website to identify other Culture Collections that may possess the desired strain.
