Training Cyanobacteria

We offer custom made trainings for individuals or small groups by our well experienced staff members. Depending on your interest, the programme may include demonstrations or ‘hands-on’ sample and strain manipulations.

The topics we propose include: 

• Isolation, cultivation and preservation methods
• Molecular identification and phylogenetic analyses
• Quality system ISO 9001 applied to our culture collection

The training takes place at ULiege (Campus Sart Tilman, Liège, BE) and is offered in English or French, depending on the participants.

This course teaches the theory and gives a “hands-on” training on the cultivation as well as the morphological and molecular characterization of Cyanobacteria. The trainees will perform strain cultivation, genomic DNA extraction, PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing of taxonomic and functional (e.g. toxin synthetases) marker genes, phylogenetic analysis, and taxonomic interpretation of the results. In addition, morphological identification based on classical taxonomic literature will also be taught.

The training takes place at ULiege (Campus Sart Tilman, Liège, BE) and is offered in English or French, depending on the participants.

This 'hands on’ training starts with environmental sampling methods, goes through the cultivation and isolation procedures to obtain unicyanobacterial and axenic cultures, followed by the maintenance of living strains and cryopreservation. A Quality Management System is applied at each step of the process. The course can be tailored to the customer's material.
