Literature

Description

Original publication in which the element is described.

Input process

new entry:

Author, JournalTitle Year; Volume (issue): beginning page#-ending page#

The journal title is abbreviated following international standard rules.

The abbreviations are without dot. Title of the article is not mentioned.

existing entries: conversion by SRS following CABRI agreed standard.

This field does not apply to all strains.

This reference can be followed by the Pubmed ID enclosed within square brackets as follows: [PMID: 1234567], where '1234567' is the Pubmed ID of the paper

Required for

MDS

History of deposit

Field

History of deposit

Description

History of the element from author to depositor, in reverse chronology (depositor< … < author).

Input process

The name of the depositor must be entered obligatory; history when known.

This field does not apply to all strains: for plasmids deposited before december 1993 (cfr. CBD convention), this field may lack information.

Required for
