| Abstract: | Procaryotes, which comprise the bacterial and archaeal domains, show very high biodiversity. Over 50 different phyla including candidate phyla with cultivable species and uncultivable representatives, which are only characterized via metagenomics have been detected. Microbial strains are ubiquitous, are able to grow in extreme environments and the determination of their functions and activities in the environment is essential for our understanding of life. Culture collections can help in the cataloguing and preservation of microbial strains and their genomic DNA. |
