A Biological Ressource Center dedicated to the understanding, preservation and valorization of yeast biodiversity
Welcome to the CIRM-Levures !
›› CIRM-Levures: a Biological Resource Center
The INRA created CIRM (International Center for Microbial Resources) in order to centralize its microbial collections and to ensure their long-term preservation. CIRM is made up of four sites dedicated to different classes of organisms: filamentous fungi (Marseille), bacteria (Rennes), pathogenic bacteria (Tours) and yeasts (Grignon).
In order to meet its customers' requirements, CIRM has implemented high quality standards and is now ISO 9001:2000 certified since October 2006 (click here for certificate).
CIRM-Levures thus complies with the OECD prescriptions on Biological Ressource Centers as defined at the Tokyo meeting in 1999.
›› Activities
CIRM-Levures distributes over 1000 hemiascomycetous yeast isolates (catalogue) and a bank of several hundred thousands genomic clones from the Genolevures sequencing programs.
CIRM-Levures performs a number of services including taxonomic identification to the species level and confidential safe deposit.
›› Affiliations
CIRM-Levures is affiliated with the World Federation of Culture (WFCC). CIRM-Levures is part of RESOMIL, a network whose creation was initiated by the french dairy industry in order to use and preserve french dairy genetic resources.
CIRM-Levures is indexed by StrainInfo.net and by Gbif.
This site displays better in a navigator corresponding to the standards, why?
