Support for a Living Stock Center of Fungi/Yeasts for Research

摘要9420750荣获该奖项是对美国典型培养物保藏中心(ATCC)保存的大量酵母和真菌的部分支持。目前收集的菌株约有26,000株，涉及6,500多个物种和1,500多个属，包括用于遗传、医学和农业研究的各种真菌和酵母，以及生产食品、药品和其他化学品所需的菌株。尽管数量很大，但这些物种只占这些生物已知物种的不到10%。目前，每年大约有500个新菌株被放置在这个集合中。应要求并收取少量费用，ATCC向研究人员、教师和工业用户提供收集的任何成员的样本；最近一年，提供了超过13,000个这样的样本。ATCC还定期发布有关收集的信息，包括菌株的名称和属性，以及用于培养生物体的有限信息。这类信息也可通过互联网等电子媒体提供。***

Abstract 9420750 Jong This award renews partial support of a large collection of yeasts and fungi maintained by the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The collection currently consists of approximately 26,000 strains representing in excess of 6,500 species and 1,500 genera, and includes a wide variety of fungi and yeasts used in genetic, medical and agricultural research as well as strains needed for production of food, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. Though large, the collection represents less than 10% of the known species of these organisms. Currently, about 500 new strains are placed in the collection each year. On request and for a small charge, the ATCC provides researchers, teachers and industrial users a sample of any member of the collection; in the most recent year, over 13,000 such samples were provided. Periodically, the ATCC also publishes information about of the collection, including names and properties of the strains, as well as limited information of use in culturing the organisms. Such information is also made available through electronic media such as the Internet. ***
