N2 - The VTT Culture Collection is a collection of
microorganisms and cell cultures,
which is housed in the unit Biotechnology and Food
Research of the Technical
Research Centre of Finland (VTT) and is financed by VTT.
It has been a member
of the European Culture Collections Organization (ECCO)
since 1984, of the
World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC) since
1985, of the Microbial
Information. Network Europe (MINE) since 1991 and was
registered with the
World Data Center for Microorganisms (WDC) in 1986
(number 139).
The first microbial strains were deposited in 1959. At
present the total
building is almost 1400 strains including 385 yeasts, 425
filamentous fungi and
525 bacteria, most of which are described in this
catalogue. As from 1992
plasmids and plant cells and from 1993 bacteriophages are
also included.
Organisms involved in the malting, brewing, distilling,
baking or pulp and
paper process are dominant in the collection. The
cultures are maintained in
the freeze-dried state and ultra-low temperature.
The main functions are the deposition including Safe
Deposit, delivery of
cultures, identification, consultation and training.
