Microbial Resources and Data

MIRRI-ERIC offers its users a single point of access to about 180.000+ high-quality Microbial Resources, an ever-growing number made available by its 44 partner biorepositories, covering all types of microorganisms, such as bacteria (and their cognate bacteriophages), archaea, fungi (including yeasts), eukaryotic viruses, micro-algae and other microbiological material such as cell lines, natural or constructs carrying plasmids, DNA libraries, and genomic DNA.

The MIRRI Information System also provides users with all relevant information and associated contextual data (metadata) about the microbial resources – e.g. taxonomy, ecology, pathogenicity, morphology, physiology, chemical characterisation, DNA barcoding or genomics.
