IHEM Fungi Collection: Human & Animal Health

BCCM/IHEM is a fungal culture collection specialized in medical and veterinary mycology. About 16.000 strains of yeasts and moulds are available from all over the world: pathogens, allergenic species, strains producing mycotoxins, reference strains, teaching material, etc. It also comprises the Raymond Vanbreuseghem collection and the collection of Janssen Pharmaceutica. The BCCM/IHEM collection makes strains or their genomic DNA publicly available for medical, pharmaceutical and biological research, as well as for method validation, testing or educational purposes. Deposits of strains for public access are free of charge for the depositor. The collection also accept safe and patent deposits, and offers a range of services including trainings in mycology and identifications of strains. Moreover, BCCM/IHEM has expertise in fungal taxonomy, in MALDI-TOF MS identification of moulds and yeasts as well as in genomics (whole genome sequencing of fungal strains, phylogenomics, phylogenetics).

BCCM/IHEM为一家专注于医学和兽医真菌学的真菌菌种收藏库。该库汇集了来自全球的约16,000种酵母和霉菌菌株，包括病原体、过敏原物种、产生真菌毒素的菌株、参考菌株、教学材料等。此外，该库还包含Raymond Vanbreuseghem收藏和Janssen Pharmaceutica收藏。BCCM/IHEM收藏库向公众提供菌种或其基因组DNA，用于医学、制药和生物研究，以及方法验证、测试或教育目的。对于菌种存档，存档者可免费获取。该收藏库还接受安全和专利存档，并提供一系列服务，包括真菌学培训和对菌株的鉴定。此外，BCCM/IHEM在真菌分类学、MALDI-TOF MS对霉菌和酵母的鉴定以及基因组学（真菌菌株的全基因组测序、系统发育基因组学、系统发育学）方面拥有专业技能。
