INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DOCUMENTS

LABORATORY PROCEDURES FOR MICROORGANISMS

REFERENCE NO.: M/1999/1.00

TITLE: INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DOCUMENTS

Five resource centres have made their catalogues available via the CABRI server namely, in alphabetical order:

BCCM-IHEM (fungi)
BCCM-LMG (bacteria)
BCCM-MUCL (fungi)
CBS (yeasts and fungi)
DSMZ (bacteria, archea, yeasts, fungi)

The laboratory procedures described in these guidelines were derived from the procedures used by these centres. These standards fulfill the requirements of the generally accepted "Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of Collections of Cultures of Microorganisms" published by the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) in 1999 (M/1999/1.00 Appendix 1)

Each part of the guidelines consists of:

Flow diagram outlining processes, with cross references to procedures
List of laboratory procedures
Additional documents, bibliographic references, forms

Procedure Referencing is made according the following:

Protocol code/year/chapter number/procedure number

Culture type	Protocol codes
Animal & Human cells	AHC
Bacteria, Archea, Yeasts, Fungi	M
Plasmids	PP
Plant cells	PC
Plant virus	PVC
Genomic librairies	GLI
