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.

该奖项为甲烷造成和杂种细菌的类型和其他菌株的转移提供了支持，以及其他严格严格的厌氧菌细菌，从俄勒冈州的甲烷素（OCM）（OCM）转移到美国类型培养物（ATCC），该培养基（ATCC）经营着我们和其他地方最大，最重要的细菌集合之一。转移后，由于董事即将退休，俄勒冈州的甲烷元素将停止，后者是该奖项的首席调查员。 ATCC细菌学集合目前包括20000多种菌株，但俄勒冈收藏中发现的类型很少。 这种菌株在培养，存储和分发时异常困难。 除OCM外，只有一个收藏品（德国国家系列（Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroegranismen）和Zellkulturen GmbH）目前包括大量这些微生物。 拟议活动的智力价值是保留OCM使用的严格厌氧细菌的菌株和标准化方法。 该项目的更广泛的影响是ATCC的甲烷植物和其他厌氧菌细菌的库存培养物的安全储存，从而促进了这些菌株向美国实验室的分布，并增强了其未来可用性的前景。
