Maintenance of the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center

该奖项更新了俄亥俄州州立大学芽孢杆菌遗传储备中心（BGSC）的资金。 BGSC获取、维护和分发几种芽孢杆菌的纯培养物。 该中心的收藏包括1400株，其中许多遗传变异或突变体可用于各种基础和应用研究领域。 介绍收藏品内容的在线和印刷目录均可查阅。 每年大约有1500种培养物分发给美国和国外的学术、政府和工业研究人员。 在该奖项资助期间，将收取使用费，并将在网上提供有关收集内容和收集生物体使用方法的更多信息。

This award renews funding of the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center (BGSC) at the Ohio State University. The BGSC acquires, maintains and distributes pure cultures of several species of Bacillus. The center's collection includes 1400 strains, many of these genetic variants or mutants useful in a variety of basic and applied research areas. Both online and printed catalogues describing the content of the collection are available. Approximately 1500 cultures are distributed each year to academic, government and industrial researchers in the US and abroad. During the period funded by this award, a user fee will be instituted, and additional information on the contents of the collection and methods for use of the collected organisms will be made available online.
