Collection of Phytopathogenic and Agriculturally Beneficial Bacteria (VURV–B), (CRI, Prague)Collection of phytopathogenic and agriculturally beneficial bacteria (CPABB) is one of the founding collections of The Czech National Programme on Conservation and Utilization of Microbial Genetic Resources Important for Agriculture. The collection currently includes: |
Collection of Soil Bacteria (VURV–R), (CRI, Prague)Culture collection of soil microorganisms is maintained since 1948 .In the last 20 years the collection has been directed to specialize in bacteria cultures of Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium and Sinorhizobium spp.Culture collection is enriched by several strains of the Azotobacter spp. |
Collection of Brewery Microorganisms (RIBM), (VÚPS, a. s., Praha) The collection of brewer's yeast was established in 1946 as part of a collection of yeasts and yeast-like microorganisms under the leadership of Dr. Kocková-Kratochvílová, and has operated independently since 1953. Since 1964 the collection has been a member of the Federation of Czech and Slovak Collections of Microorganisms and is internationally registered as RIBM under the number 655. By focusing on the production strains of brewing yeast it is unique in Central and Eastern Europe. In 1996 the brewer's yeast collection became (as one of very specifically targeted and industrially applicable collections) part of the "National Program of the Gene Pool of Microorganisms and Small Animals of Economic Importance and their Use in Reference Diagnostics." This project is also supported by the Czech government in the form of a grant by the Ministry of Agriculture. The program is led by the Council of Microbial Genetic Resources, which monitors the mandatory retention of a functional existence of collections of microorganisms of a corresponding character. |

The Culture Collection of Dairy Microorganisms, Laktoflora® (CCDM) is a unique collection of bacterial cultures (monocultures and mixed cultures) and fungal organisms. The collection was established in 1956 in Prague and is currently located at the workplace of the Dairy Research Institute in Tábor (MILCOM a.s.). In 2021, a total of 974 strains were registered in the Laktoflora® collection. Most bacterial cultures are stored in a lyophilized state and at the same time deep-freezed by cryopreservation. Yeasts, moulds, and some bacterial strains are kept on nutrient agar medium and are stored by cryopreservation. The collection is significantly funded by National Program for the Conservation and Utilization of Genetic Resources of Microorganisms and Small Animals of Economic Importance (NPGZM). Since 2019, the CCDM collection includes the so-called bakery collection consisted of bacteria and yeasts with specific technological properties predominantly isolated from different kinds of sourdough and used in the bakery industry. |

Czech Collection of Microorganisms (CCM), (MU, Brno)The Czech Collection of Microorganisms (CCM) is a nonprofit organization established at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University in 1963 and in the present serves as a specialized research and service division within the Department of Experimental Biology. The CCM was included into the National Programme (NPGZM) in 2019 with selected collection of approx. 200 bacterial strains in the frame of the project: „Microorganisms related to dairy technologies and products“. |
