This award provides support for the transfer of type and other strains of methanogenic and syntrophic bacteria, and other fastidiously strict anaerobic bacteria from the Oregon Collection of Methanogens (OCM) to the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), which operates one of the largest and most important collections of bacteria in the US and elsewhere. Following the transfer, the Oregon Collection of Methanogens will cease due to the imminent retirement of the director, who is principal investigator of this award. The ATCC bacteriology collection currently includes over 20000 strains, but contains few strains of the types found in the Oregon collection. Such strains are unusually difficult to culture, store and distribute. In addition to the OCM, only one collection, the German national collection (Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH) presently includes substantial numbers of these microbes. The intellectual value of the proposed activity is the preservation of strains and of the standardized methods for the growth, storage and distribution of these strictly anaerobic bacteria that have been employed by OCM. The broader impacts of this project are the secure storage of stock cultures of methanogenic and other anaerobic bacteria at ATCC, thereby facilitating the distribution of these strains to laboratories in the United States and enhancing prospects for their future availability.

该奖项为俄勒冈州产甲烷菌集合(OCM)的类型和其他菌株、产甲烷和合养细菌以及其他一丝不苟的厌氧菌转移到美国类型培养集合(ATCC)提供支持，ATCC经营着美国和其他地方最大和最重要的细菌集合之一。移交后，俄勒冈州产甲烷菌收集将停止，因为主任即将退休，他是该奖项的首席调查员。ATCC细菌学收藏目前包括20000多个菌株，但包含俄勒冈州收藏中发现的几个类型的菌株。这样的菌株很难培养、储存和分发。除了OCM之外，只有一个德国国家收藏馆(Deutsche Sammrunvon MikroOrganmen And Zellkulturen GmbH)目前包括大量这样的微生物。拟议活动的智力价值在于保存OCM使用的菌株以及这些严格厌氧菌的生长、储存和分配的标准化方法。该项目的更广泛影响是在ATCC安全储存产甲烷和其他厌氧细菌的库存培养物，从而促进将这些菌株分配到美国的实验室，并增加它们未来可用的前景。
