find strain-producers, media, cultivation conditions and products. News in life
sciences, patent situation and job opportunities are also available.
ATCC (American Type Culture

Microorganisms (JCM) was founded in 1980 at RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and
Chemical Research), as a culture collection of microorganisms. JCM supplies
authentic microorganisms to researchers in the fields of life sciences and
biotechnology. Available microorganisms from JCM are: about 3,800 strains of
bacteria including Actinomycetes, about 150 strains of Archaea and about 2,400
strains of fungi including yeasts.
VKM (All-Russian Collection of
