The Phaff Yeast Culture Collection at the University of California Davis is used for basic research on yeast physiology, yeast ecology (especially yeast-insect associations), comparative genomics, and taxonomy, including discovery of new yeast species. Yeast collections are also used for applied research, including study of food and beverage fermentation, food spoilage, biofuels exploration, and the development of improved methods to identify yeasts that cause human infections. This award will fund the transfer of two existing collections, the Starmer collection from Syracuse University and the Ganter collection from Tennessee State University. The Phaff Yeast Culture Collection is the fourth largest public yeast collection in the world, with over 7000 strains. A total of 4000 yeast strains will be transferred to UC Davis, expanding the size of the Phaff collection by 50 percent. In addition, the project staff participate in an annual UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day, which attracts visitors to the yeast exhibits to learn about microbiology and societal benefits derived from yeasts and culture collections.In this project, the Starmer and Ganter collections will be shipped to UC Davis where they will be cryopreserved, re-identified by ribosomal sequencing, archived off-site, added to the Phaff collection database, and DNA sequences will be deposited in GenBank. All three collections include numerous undescribed species, and in some cases, the only known representatives of certain species. Geographically and taxonomically diverse yeast collections like this are now virtually impossible to re-collect. Once the transfer is complete, the combined collection will be available to the global scientific community. By posting DNA sequences of accessions in GenBank and expanding information available on the Phaff collection online catalog (http://phaffcollection.ucdavis.edu), the collection will be more visible and valuable for all users.

位于加州戴维斯大学的法夫酵母培养物保藏中心用于酵母生理学、酵母生态学（特别是酵母-昆虫关联）、比较基因组学和分类学的基础研究，包括发现新的酵母物种。 酵母菌也被用于应用研究，包括食品和饮料发酵，食品腐败，生物燃料探索，以及开发改进的方法来识别导致人类感染的酵母菌。 该奖项将资助转让两个现有的收藏品，从锡拉丘兹大学的斯塔默收集和从田纳西州州立大学的甘特收集。 法夫酵母培养物保藏中心是世界上第四大公共酵母保藏中心，拥有7000多个菌株。 总共有4000个酵母菌株将被转移到加州大学戴维斯分校，扩大了50%的法夫收集的大小。 此外，项目工作人员还参加了一年一度的加州大学戴维斯分校生物多样性博物馆日，吸引游客参观酵母展品，了解酵母和培养物的微生物学和社会效益。在这个项目中，Starmer和Ganter的收藏品将被运往加州大学戴维斯分校，在那里它们将被冷冻保存，通过核糖体测序重新鉴定，在场外存档，添加到Phaff收藏品数据库，并将其DNA序列存入GenBank。 所有三个集合包括许多未描述的物种，在某些情况下，某些物种的唯一已知的代表。像这样地理和分类上多样化的酵母收藏品现在几乎不可能重新收集。一旦转移完成，合并后的收藏品将提供给全球科学界。 通过在基因库中公布加入物的DNA序列和扩大法夫收集在线目录（http：//www.example.com）上的可用信息，收集物将对所有用户更加可见和有价值。phaffcollection.ucdavis.edu
