Marine Food Webs
Cultured marine species/taxa:
various marine (esp. microalgae and zooplankton) species,
"The collection of marine organisms of the Experimental Ecology- Marine Food Webs at GEOMAR includes various species of microalgae from benthic and pelagic habitats, i.e. periphyton and phytoplankton, as well as zooplankton. Examples are the benthic genera Achnanthes, Stauroneis, Navicula. Cultured phytoplankton taxa are Chatoceros, Thalassiosira as well as Emiliania huxleyi. Cultured zooplankton species are Mnemiopsis leidyi, Aurelia aurita and Acartia sp.. We are always ready and willing to make representatives of selected taxa available (on request)."

Marine Microbiology
Cultured marine species/taxa:
various marine microorganisms:
“The collection of marine microorganisms in the Marine Microbiology of GEOMAR includes bacteria, fungi and protists that were sampled from various marine habitats (foci: deep-sea, Arctica, microbial communities on marine macroorganisms, Baltic Sea, Wadden Sea). The collection includes more than 10 000 bacterial and fungal strains that cover a wide spectrum of taxa. We are always ready and willing to make representatives of selected taxa available (on request). Examples are the bacterial genera Pseudomonas, Pseudoalteromonas and Streptomyces, anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (e.g. Chlorobium, Allochromatium, Rhodobacter), ascomycota and basidiomycota (e.g. Dendryphiella, Lulworthia, Corollospora) as well as the stramenophile protists.”
