Description: Buy algae and everything you need to grow it at UTEX. Identification, DNA sequencing, and biochemical analysis are just a few services available. UTEX is a Non-Profit whose principle financial support is obtained through the NSF, University of Texas at Austin, and through the sale of cultures to the research community.
UTEX maintains several unique collections of algae acquired through generous donations. Many of these strains are exclusive to UTEX, including numerous diatoms, marcroalgae, algae isolated from soil, and extremophiles bioprospected from harsh environments.

The National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts (NAABB), a consortium of universities, research institutions, and companies funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, has made 30 of their best performing strains available to the public through UTEX. These strains are well characterized for lipid production and growth kinetics.
