The algae are not dried in herbaria , but live in algae cultures . These are all to microalgae . The aim of the collection is, on the one hand, the scientific documentation ; on the other hand, the cultures are available for research in scientific institutes and for companies for further use (see seed libraries in plant breeding ) and are therefore not presented to the public.
