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
Red algae Science Foundation as part of the Assembling the Tree of Life Program. Some sources (such as Lee) place all red algae into the class "Rhodophyceae". (Lee's organization is not a comprehensive classification, but a selection of orders considered common or important.) A subphylum - Proteorhodophytina - has been proposed to encompass the existing classes Compsopogonophyceae, Porphyridiophyceae, Rhodellophyceae and Stylonematophyceae. This proposal was made on the basis of the analysis of the plastid genomes. Over 7,000 species are currently described for the red algae, but the taxonomy is in constant flux with new species described each year. The vast majority of
