COLLECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND LABORATORY MICROBIAL STRAINS


Collection of Environmental and Laboratory Strains of Tartu University was founded in 1995. Currently collection holds over 2000 cultures of microorganisms. The collection is financed by national programme and by Tartu University.

Majority of strains have been isolated from polluted areas with strong oil shale mining and chemistry industry impact. Main tasks of the collection are extension of collection with new strains and type cultures, characterization of strains and distribution of microorganisms for purpose of research and education. Our main research activities are related to use molecular methods for characterization of microbial strains and diversity of functional genes.

Catalog of collection is available at following address http://www.miccol.ut.ee/
