Also, he served as a collector, preparator and determiner of specimens towards the development of Gottlob Ludwig Rabenhorst's diatom exsiccatae. Grunow co-edited two exsiccata series, one of them under the title Algae Ceylanicae, legit W. Ferguson, determ. A. Grunow with William Ferguson.

In 1901 he donated his collection of extant and fossil diatoms to the Natural History Museum of Vienna. He was a corresponding member of the Geologischen Reichsanstalt.
