Strains Book

MIRRI-ERIC offers its users a Strains Book Deposit service, available for Public, Patent, and Safe Deposit.

The microbiological material to be deposited is cultivated and preserved following the depositor’s instructions or using optimised conditions when necessary. There are three types of deposit available at MIRRI-ERIC: a) Deposit of microbiological material that will be publicly available. Used, for example, for new species description; b) Deposit of microbiological material for patent purposes under the Budapest Treaty; and c) Confidential and private deposit, to which access to material and associated data has to be authorised by the depositor.
