Maintenance and Authentication of the ATCC Reference Collection of Bacteria

9512045 Cypess该奖项更新了美国典型培养物保藏中心（ATCC）细菌学保藏中心的资金。 该系列包括超过15，000株代表大多数已知细菌物种的菌株。 大约500株细菌病毒也包括在收集。 约20%的细菌菌株是典型培养物，特别适用于鉴定新分离株、进行微生物测定和重复使用相同菌株至关重要的其他用途。 大学、研究所和工业界的研究人员可以收取少量费用，获得收集到的生物样品。 在过去五年中，收集的样本数量增加了约7%，分发了20多万份样本。 通过该奖项提供的资金将支持藏品规模的持续增长，质量保证程序的改进，以及通过互联网和印刷目录提供有关藏品的详细最新信息的进展。 ***

9512045 Cypess This award renews funding of the Bacteriology Collection of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The collection includes over 15,000 strains representing most of the known species of bacteria. Approximately 500 strains of bacterial viruses are also included in the collection. About 20% of the bacterial strains are type cultures particularly useful as reference strains in identifying new isolates, performing microbiological assays and other uses where repeated use of the same strain is critical. Samples of collected organisms are available to researchers in universities, research institutes and industry for a small fee. In the last five years, the size of the collection has increased by about 7%, and over 200,000 samples have been distributed. Funding provided through the award will support continued growth in the size of the collection, improvements in the quality-assurance procedures, and progress in providing detailed, current information about the collection through the internet and a printed catalogue. ***
