> Unfortunately, I have some bad news: In 2006 the PCC obtained the ISO
> 9001 certificate and integrated into the Centre of Biological Resources
> at the Pasteur Institute (CRBIP). Thanks to the generous support from
> the Pasteur Institute we presently have greatly improved working
> conditions (three new culture rooms were installed -at high costs- when
> we moved to a new building on campus three years ago). Furthermore,
> Muriel Gugger was hired last year as my future successor. All of this
> gave us a certain optimism for the future. However, there is a very high
> probability that the Unité des Cyanobactéries at the Pasteur Institute
> will close in January 2010 (six months after Nicole Tandeau de Marsac
> and myself retire). Consequently, we shall most likely need to look for
> a new home for the PCC strain collection (a total of about 800 axenic
> isolates) in order to ensure that scientists and commercial enterprises
> world-wide will continue to have access to this valuable biological
> material. It seems highly unlikely that we shall be able to convince the
> Directors of the Pasteur Institute to change their minds about the
> renewal of the Unit with Jean-François Humbert and Philippe Quillardet
> as senior scientists or to keep at least the PCC and associated staff
> (Muriel Gugger, Thérèse Coursin and Thierry Laurent), in whose
> competence I fully trust. However, we may have a slightly better chance
> of saving the PCC and thus permitting continued national and
> international research, if you were willing to send us a letter of
> support. This could be done as jpg attachments by E-mail (which we would
> print and transmit to the Directors - once a sufficient number has been
> collected). Alternatively, you may write directly to two of the present
> directors ( preferably with a copy to us), whose contacts are given below.
