Dear customer – SCCAP closed

In 2016 The Scandinavian Culture Collection of Algae (SCCAP), until then hosted by Dept. of Biology, University of Copenhagen, was merged with the NIVA Culture Collection of Algae and the research algal collection at the Dept. of Biology, University of Oslo (UiO) into NORCCA (The Norwegian Culture Collection of Algae).

The merged collections, consisting of nearly 2000 highly diverse strains, can be reached at: https://norcca.scrol.net

The SCCAP homepage will continue, so information on the SCCAP strains, photographs etc. still can be accessed.

It should be noted that the homepage contains most of the strains maintained at SCCAP during its time of existence, i.e. includes strains that were either dead or had never been publicly available when SCCAP were merged into NORCCA. Furthermore, some taxonomic names are obsolete as revision of names are no longer maintained.
