• July 2018 : The TCC has its DOI : Rimet, Frédéric; Chardon, Cécile; Lainé, Leslie; Bouchez, Agnès; Domaizon, Isabelle; Guillard, Jean; Jacquet, Stéphan, 2018, "Thonon Culture Collection -TCC- a freshwater microalgae collection", https://doi.org/10.15454/UQEMVW, Portail Data Inra, V1
• 2018: The TCC  is part of the BRC4Env, Biological Resource Centres for the Environment. It aims at storing and providing environmental resources (biological material and associated data), in a secure way and an optimal traceability. BRC4Env is one of the pilar of the French national infrastructure "Agricultural Resources for Research" (AgroBRC-RARe). Presentation of BRC4Env is published: Mougin, C., Artige, E., Marchand, F., Mondy, S., Ratié, C., Sellier, N., Castagnone, P., Coeur D'Acier, A., Esmenjaud, D., Faivre-Primot, C., Granjon, L., Hamelet, V., Lange, F., Pages, S., Rimet, F., Ris, N., Salle, G.
