Collection of Biotrophic Fungi (VURV–A), VÚRV, v. v. i., Praha)Determination of physiologic races of wheat rusts started in the sixties of the last century. Results were periodically published in scientific journals (Genetika a šlechtění, at present Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding or in Ochrana rostlin, at present Plant Protection Science). Results of race surveys were discussed with wheat breeders and applied in the wheat breeding for rust resistance. Since that time determination of rust races (pathotypes) is being carried out till now and isolates are stored. |

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 CCF was established in 1964-65 under the leadership of Dr. Olga Fassatiová.
In 2006, part of Culture Collection of Fungi was incorporated into the Czech National Programme of Protection of Genetic Resources of Economically Significant Microorganisms and Tiny Animals (NPPGR).

Culture Collection of Basidiomycetes (CCBAS), (MBÚ AV ČR, v. v. i., Praha)Culture Collection of Basidiomycetes Important for Agriculture (CCBAS-A) is an integral part of the mother Culture Collection of Basidiomycetes (CCBAS), which was established in 1959 at the Institute of Microbiology AS CR in Prague. Since 2003 the CCBAS-A is incorporated in the National Programme of Protection and Utilization of Genetic Resources of Microorganisms and Tiny Organisms Economically Significant for Agriculture. At present it includes 346 strains of basidiomycetes belonging to 168 species, mostly wood-rotting, and is continually extended by adding new verified strains. |
Collection of Hop Pathogens, (ChI, s. r. o., Žatec)The collection was established in 2003. The main attention is paid to hop pathogens - viruses and viroids. |
Collection of Phytopathogenic Microorganisms UPOCThe collection of fungal microorganisms pathogenic to plants has been formed by Prof. Lebeda from 1977, during his work in Plant Breeding Station of Sempra company in Smržice. Following his employment (from 1994) at the Dept. Botany, Faculty of Science, Palacký University in Olomouc the collection was enlarged by isolates of cyanobacteria and algae (administered by Dr. Hašler and managed by prof. Poulíčková) and collection of viruses and phytoplasmas (managed by Prof. Navrátil at Department of Cell Biology and Genetics). The UPOC collection has expanded by expeditions organized yearly to collect new samples. |
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“. |
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, molds, 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. |

Culture Collection of Dairy and Bakery Contaminants (CCDBC), (Milcom, a. s., Tábor) The Collection of Dairy and Bakery Contaminants (CCDBC) was established in 2019 with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic as part of the National Program for the Conservation and Utilization of Genetic Resources of Plants, Animals and Microorganisms Important for Nutrition and Agriculture (NPGZM). The collection is located at the Research Institute of Dairy in Tábor (MILCOM a.s. company premises) and deals with the preservation of strains of bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi contaminating dairy and bakery products, which due to their properties have the potential for use in further research. |
