Abstract
The VTT collection is a national service collection. The
first strains were deposited in 1959. The total holding
at the end of 1988 was 1050 strains, including 320
yeasts, 390 filamentous fungi and 340 bacteria. The main
functions of the collection are the deposition (not for
patent application) and preservation of cultures,
delivery of pure cultures to industry, research and
education, mainly in Finland. The collection is financed
by the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT).
The collection has been a member of the European Culture
Collections' Organization (ECCO) since 1984 and of the
World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) since
1985. It has been registered with the World Data Center
for Microorganisms (WDC) since 1986 (collection number
139).
VTT cultures are maintained mainly in the freeze-dried
state and at ultra low temperatures.
