abstract = {The AMIGA project: The role of nature vs. nurture for the properties and evolution of galaxies is still an open question. In order to find 
answers, it is crucial to have a well-selected sample of isolated galaxies as a baseline and comparison. We built, refined and analised such a 
sample in the project AMIGA ("Analysis of the Interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies”, http://www.iaa.es/AMIGA.html). The sample is based 
on the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG) by Karanchenseva (1978) and the database (containing optical magnitude, Hα, far-infrared, radio 
continuum, HI and CO) enables us to characterize the properties of the star formation and interstellar medium.},
abstract = {The CO data: We present CO data for 276 AMIGA galaxies, obtained to a large extent (189 galaxies) from own observations in addition to data 
from the literature. This sample enables us to characterize the molecular gas content of isolated galaxies.},
abstract = {Comparison to other wavelengths: We show the comparison of the total molecular gas mass to the blue luminosity and the atomic gas mass. 
The molecular gas mass and the blue luminosity show a good correlation which can serve as a baseline to define the extected molecular gas 
content in a galaxy in the absence of interaction. The atomic gas mass is higher than the molecular gas mass for all Hubble types, and the ratio 
of the molecular-to-atomic mass ratio decreases towards late Hubble type.},
