Catalogue: Divided into five sections - Actinomycetes, Bacteria, Fungi, Yeasts and Plasmids, the catalogue of strains gives detailed information about each culture. It also has alphabetic and numerical listing of over 9000 cultures (as on 1.03.2009), their properties and composition of over 200 media.
Manual on Bacterial Genetics: Compilation of protocols of experiments in basic bacterial genetics. Cultures necessary for conducting the experiments are available.
Manual on Actinomycetes: Compilation of basic protocols for isolation, selection, screening, identification of actinomycetes and basic principles of gene cloning in Streptomyces. Necessary cultures for conducting the experiments are available.
The MTCC has a good collection of strains useful for teaching purposes. The MTCC scientists will be glad to help in selecting strains for conducting laboratory courses in microbiology. Training course/workshop in the areas related to culture collection, microbial diversity and taxonomy are also held at irregular intervals. Please visit our website for any related announcements.
