MaCuMBA Culture Collections
Key strains isolated as a result of MaCuMBA activities are housed in four major collections belonging to partners of the MaCuMBA project
1. DSMZ: Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH
2. RCC: Roscoff Culture Collection
3. UBOCC: Université de Bretagne Occidentale Culture Collection, which is divided into 2 sub-collections:
3.1 UBO-Extremophiles (LM2E): Laboratoire de Microbiologie des Environnements Extrêmes
3.2 UBO-Fungi (LUBEM): Laboratoire Universitaire de Biodiversité et d’Ecologie Microbienne
4. CCY: Culture Collection Yerseke. CCY has also deposited all strains of cyanobacteria at DSMZ.
