Microbial culturing facility launches microbiome strain repository


The BCMM is building a repository of human-associated microbial isolates for use by BCMM members. The repository already contains bacterial and fungal strains from over 100 genera and is quickly expanding.


We welcome investigator contributions to the repository. Depositing strains into the repository fuels the growth of this resource and provides an opportunity to store critical microbial isolates outside your lab.
