Microbial Biodiversity Library (MBL)

The Bacterial Preservation Service offered by the Centre for Chemical Biology (CCB) through its Microbial Biodiversity Library (CCB-MBL) provides reliable and high-quality preservation of microbial cultures using advanced techniques such as freeze-drying (lyophilization). This service is designed to support researchers, institutions, and industries in ensuring the long-term viability, stability, and accessibility of microbial strains.

Key Services Include:

• Viability testing of microorganisms
• Preservation of microorganisms through:
  • Public Depository
  • Safe Depository
• Access to microbial cultures from the CCB-MBL public collection

Benefits:

• Freeze-dried ampoule storage for long-term durability
• High genetic stability and guaranteed long-term storage
• Low maintenance storage with minimal contamination risk
• High reproducibility and compliance with regulatory standard

On top of that, the Centre for Chemical Biology (CCB) is registered and indexed under the WFCC-MIRCEN World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM), an international data centre dedicated to microbial resource information. Here's the link: https://ccinfo.wdcm.org/details?regnum=1164

This service is ideal for researchers who need reliable microbial preservation and easy access to diverse, well-identified strains.
