Ministry of Natural Resources: The Polar Microbial Germplasm Bank is online

According to the official WeChat account of the China Polar Research Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Xuelong Probe, the Polar Microbial Germplasm Bank was launched recently (https:// The information of the first batch of more than 200 polar microbes has been fully standardized and publicly shared.

It is reported that, in order to improve the standardization and information disclosure of polar microbial resources, and realize the sharing of polar characteristic strain resources in the future, the Polar Microbial and Biogeochemistry Team of China Polar Research Center and the National Polar Science Data Center jointly developed the data management of polar microbial germplasm resources.

It is understood that since 1998, researchers at the China Polar Research Center have been working to isolate and cultivate microorganisms from various polar environmental samples.

In the future, the construction of cryogenic bacteria resources in the polar regions will focus on the major needs of China's extreme environmental life science research, biotechnology innovation and future industrial development, and explore and discover polar microbial germplasm resources; under the premise of ensuring biosafety and protecting intellectual property rights, Provide special environmental microbial species resources, genetic resources, information resources and other related professional technical services in polar ecological environment protection, public welfare scientific research and education, industrial and agricultural applications.
