| Description | The Czech Collection of Microorganisms (CCM) is non-profit organisation established in 1963. At present, the CCM holds well over 3000 strains of more than 810 species of bacteria and about 700 strains of more than 500 species of fungi in pure cultures, covering a very wide range of applications. The CCM provides specialised collections of 144 quality control strains for microbiological laboratories. These control strains are especially intended for diagnostic laboratories in human and veterinary microbiology as well as microbiological laboratories of quality control of food and water. The control strains of filamentous fungi belong to the hyphomycetes and yeast cultures the saccharomycetes. The quality control strains are supplied freeze-dried in sealed glass ampoules and in the form of gelatin discs. Actual information about cultures is available on our web site (http:/www.sci.muni.cz/ccm/). |
