COLLECTION OF LIVING MICROORGANISM CULTURE

美国典型培养物收藏(ATCC)是该国唯一的 长期储存库和配送中心，其功能是 活的微生物、病毒和细胞系的“博物馆”。作为一名 自然资源库，反映了 生物医学研究社区，ATCC组织、保存和 维护独一无二的经过分类认证的组集合 作为收藏品的相关生物。通过收集、认证、 繁殖、保存和分发这些重要的生物 参考资料如收藏品所载，ATCC是 提供对发展至关重要的宝贵的研究支持服务 生物医学研究。如果这些区域性不可用，或者如果它们 被污染或未正确识别，则会出现 这相当浪费研究时间和资金。

The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) is the country's only long-term repository and distribution center which functions as a "museum" for living microorganisms, viruses, and cell lines. As a natural repository, reflecting the multicategorical interest of the biomedical research community, the ATCC has organized, preserved, and maintained a one-of-a-kind collection of groups certified, taxonomically related living organisms as Collections. By collecting, certifying, propagating, preserving, and distributing such important biological reference materials as is contained in the Collections, the ATCC is providing invaluable research support services vital to the advancement of biomedical research. If such cultures are not available, or if they are contaminated or not correctly identified, there would be a considerable waste of research time and funds.
