National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology The program focuses on the discovery and development of robust microorganisms to improve biofuel production. It also develops biological binders or biosurfactant,biopolymers,and heat-resistant enzymes,for wastes degradation and bioremediation. Communication and Technology Utilization Program packages BIOTECH information and facilitates its proactive exchange among the scientists-researchers and Institute clients. The program also embarks on various technology transfer and commercialization approaches. Among its services include biotechnology promotion, training and internship, product and technology marketing, database management and communication support services. The PNCM is a repository of microorganisms containing over 2000 strains of bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, algae and protozoa. It is the biggest
John Lightfoot (biologist) "Ryssus", but including also "Lichen" as "Algae Terrestres", terrestrial algae. Only nine genera of fungi are recognised in the book: "Agaricus", "Boletus", "Hydnum", "Phallus", "Helvella", "Peziza", "Clavaria", "Lycoperdon", and "Mucor" (listed on page 645); a tenth fungal genus, "Tremella" is covered, but included among his algae. "Scottish Fungi" note that "While his classification might be a bit wonky by today's understanding, most of the species he recorded can be traced to modern taxa", and that he provided the first British records for the chanterelle and the summer truffle. The book has an "English and Scotch Index of the Names of
