BacDive

BacDive (The Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase) is maintained by the DSMZ (German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures) and serves as an extensive resource for microbial research. The database contains detailed information about bacterial and archaeal strains, compiled from various culture collections and scientific literature.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive strain-level data
• Standardized taxonomic information
• Detailed growth conditions
• Morphological characteristics
• Metabolic properties
• Geographic isolation data
• Molecular characteristics
• Environmental conditions
• Culture media requirements
• References to scientific literature

The database is particularly valuable for:

• Microbiologists
• Biotechnologists
• Environmental scientists
• Clinical researchers
• Industrial microbiologists
