PROJECT PRICE is the third component project of INFLORAS that is tasked to document the many diverse forms of coastal associated (marine and estuarine environments) protist flora such as myxomycetes and oomycetes. These organisms are known to be of great ecological value as it is a major microbial predator that maintains most ecosystem dynamic in terrestrial environments, especially in the soil. A number of substrates usually found along the coastlines, i.e. driftwoods, leaf litters, algae, will be the sources of this fungus like protists. They will be collected and will be meticulously isolated using technical expertise of the project leaders. New protocol of preservation and optimized culturing of this unpopular protist group is expected to be develop. The possible implication with regards to the health of the marine shoreline, and the possible threat it could give to the coastal settlers are expected to be speculated from the diversity studies that will be part of the project.
