Collections

Culture collections, also known as Biological Resource Centres (BRCs), are relevant for prokaryotic nomenclature because they harbour deposits of ☞ type strains of species and subspecies. Type strains that are not maintained by major culture collections should be obtained from the authors of published descriptions.

Notes:

• The list below includes an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for each collection.
• For each active culture collection with deposits listed in LPSN the style of the deposit IDs is given as follows: L, any capital letter; l, any small letter; [D], one to several digits; all other characters stand for themselves. This style does not include the acronym of the culture collections itself, which precedes the deposit ID, usually separated by a space character. For instance, the style used by CBS is given as [D].[D] (e.g., CBS 451.65).
• The term "Linked" means that the collection has an online catalogue with pages for individual deposits, and the address of these pages is constructed in such a way that the address can be automatically derived from the deposit identifier. A number of collections have recently modified their online catalogue to allow links to be made in this way.
• A list of culture collections registered in WDCM is available online (as for WDCM, see the separate WDCM entry given below). Each collection entry below links to WDCM if possible.
• Some of the BRCs listed below are not culture collections but herbaria. Whenever possible a link to the Index Herbariorium is given in these cases. Herbaria are relevant for names of Cyanobacteria validly published under the botanical code (ICNafp).
• An outdated list of culture collections with an Internet presence is available in the archived file Links: page Culture Collections of Prokaryotes with a Significant Internet Presence (listed by acronyms) and page Culture Collections of Prokaryotes with an Internet Presence and Related Resources.
• See also World Federation for Culture Collections guidelines for the establishment and operation of collections of cultures of microorganisms.
• The first LPSN author, J.P. Euzéby, is very grateful to Dr B.J. Tindall (DSMZ) for his helpful comments and corrections.

Warning: Several acronyms cited below are not from publicly accessible, recognized Biological Resource Centres (BRCs). Culture collections of research institutes and corporations are included as well as BRCs that are not active any more. Federations and societies may be marked as active if they have an internet presence although they are not BRCs. Please contact the authors if you observe a malfunctioning link.
