Leibniz InstituteDSMZ-German Collection of M icroorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH
The Leibniz Institute DSMZ houses the most diverse collection worldwide with more than 40,000 microor-ganisms (i.e. bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, algae) and bacteriophages. The whole breadth of culturable microbial diversity, carefully checked for authenticity by state-of-the-art technologies, is available for scien-tists from academia and industry.
Eleven comprehensive subcollections focused on different groups of microorganisms are managed by curators with the respective expertise. The subcollec-tions are allocated to the Department of Microorga-nisms and the Department of Bioresources for Bioeconomy and Health Research.
The DSMZ compiles bioresources with a focus on application and creates capacities for the deposit of new resources, thereby meeting the increasing demand for high-quality and well-characterised strains for fundamental research, bio-economy and health research.
About 2,000 strains are deposited in our open collec-tion each year resulting in an ever-expanding reposi-tory for scientists from academia and industry around the globe.
COLLECTION OF MICROORGANISMS
Due to its status as the first European Registered Collection, deposit of bioresources at the DSMZ as well as purchase from the DSMZ is in full compliance with EU Regulation No. 511/2014 on Access and Benefit Sharing (Nagoya Protocol).
In addition to the deposit of microorganisms in the open collection, the DSMZ also offers a safe and a patent deposit.
A comprehensive por olio of services, including iden-tification, biochemical and microbiological analyses as well as free accessible online tools, is also available.
