The key contents of China Microbial Resources Development Report 2016 are introduced.

China Microbial Resources Development Report 2016 Focus: The World Microbial Data Center and the Microbiology Resources and Large Data Center of the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences released the China Microbial Resources Development Report 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the Report) on September 6.
analysis of the report shows that between 2001 and 2015, China's microbial resources sector made great progress.
China's microbiology sector is ranked second in the world, after the United States, China's microbial field patents (ethnic) number of the world's first, from the global rankings, China in 2009 to become the microbial field of the largest number of public patents (ethnic) countries. Ma Juncai, director of the
World Microbial Data Center, said that the contents of the Report are based on the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Microbiology, the Shanghai Life Sciences Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chengdu Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, based on the current situation of microbial resources preservation in China, combined with china's microbial research and research output (papers, patents) analysis, from the two perspectives of resource preservation and research output to assess the development of microbial research in China, for scientific research planning, research and development direction to provide a reference basis.
statistics of the Global Microbial Preservation Center Information Network show that There are 33 existing species preservation centers in China, with 182,235 shareable strains and the fourth largest total number of species in the world.
the world's preservation centers maintain a total of 96,907 biological materials for patent procedures, China's common microbial species preservation centers for the preservation of patented strains in 11977, located in the world's Second place.
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the World Microbial Data Center, a global data center covering international strain resources that integrates data on 2.5 million microbial species from 710 preservation centers in 72 countries.
World Microbial Data Center advocated and published the Beijing Declaration on global microbial resource data sharing, advocated a major international cooperation program on microbial information, so that international cooperation in microbial resources to a new level, and promote the global microbial resources information construction to a new height.
