CABI Genetic Resources Collection

CABI is offering two Transnational services related to cryopreservation and supply of soil as part of MICROBES-4-CLIMATE.

MICROBES-4-CLIMATE (M4C) is a Horizon Europe-funded project designed to improve the understanding of the complex relationships among microorganisms, plants, and soil within the framework of climate change. As part of the MICROBES-4-CLIMATE Transnational access (TNA), active researchers from EU member states and EU associated countries.

For more information about the TNA Programme, you may explore to the corresponding M4C 2nd Call press release

This order form is designed to capture your requirements and our due diligence requirements, including biosafety and biosecurity.

If you need to collect documents to upload e.g. permits, there is a "save and complete later" button on the bottom right of the form. Click on this and you can come back to the form at any time.

If you only need to browse our catalogue then you can do so by clicking here

Costs for our cultures are supplied to you once we have assessed your request.

Please provide details of the culture(s) requested if they are not listed in the order form or catalogue

Select the format of DNA you have requested

No DNA requestedCrude DNA extract, not suitable for Next Generation SequencingPurified DNA, suitable for Next Generation Sequencing

For either method of DNA extraction, we revive the cultures from their preserved state and confirm the identity of the strain. The price depends on the nature of the organism, quality and quantity of DNA that you need and will be communicated to you as soon as your request has been assessed

DNA is suspended in 18μl volume of Microzone’s microLYSIS®-Plus (https://www.clentlifescience.co.uk/products/microlysis-plus/). MicroLYSIS-Plus is a release buffer that we regularly use to isolate DNAfrom bacteria and fungi, and is a very efficient formula for basic molecularbiology applications such as PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. This is not suitable for next generation sequencing (NGS) methods

What volume of DNA do you require? (μl)

What concentration of DNA do you require? (μl/ml)

By receiving strains from our Genetic Resource Collection, you agree to acknowledge CABI’s Bioscience Service in any future academic publication that results from the research of this organism.

This may be in the acknowledgement section or as co-authors of the publication.

You also agree to our Conditions of supply, which you are to read and understand

Authorized signature*

Please indicate the intended use for the microorganisms requested, to ensure that the cultures we provide meet your expectations, :*

Do any of the strains you have requested require an import permit or a letter from your National Plant Protection Organisation stating that 'no permit is required'?*

YesNo

Do you have Hazard Group 2 facilities?*

YesNoNot applicable

If you have a permit or letter from your National Plant Protection Organisation, please upload it here. If you do not have your permit yet then save the form and upload it later*

On occasion, microorganisms can be difficult to recover after preservation. In the event of this happening with any of the cultures you have requested, please indicate whether you would like us to recommend alternatives:*

YesNo

To provide you with the most relevant resource, please tell us why you requested these specific IMI numbers*

The IMI number is listed in a publication that I am referencingThe IMI number is not important - I want any strain with the species nameOther

Cultures supplied by CABI are provided with either their originally-deposited name or with a subsequently-amended name. Many of our cultures were originally deposited with naming based on their morphotaxonomic characteristics by leading international taxonomists. Microbial taxonomy is not however a static science and many taxa have undergone name changes as a result of reclassification's based on molecular analysis. Whilst, we endeavour to ensure that the name given to a culture is current and correct, there may be occasions where the name provided is that originally assigned to the organism when deposited. On occasion, an alternative name may also be given.*

I have read, understood and accept this statementI require the identity to be confirmed by morphological analysisI require the identity to be confirmed by Sanger sequencingOther

CABI undertakes a number of quality control procedures to ensure that each culture has retained its integrity. However, on occasions a strain may fail to grow, may be contaminated, or may fail to exhibit its expected properties. If you are not satisfied with your culture(s), please contact us within 28 days of receipt. As stipulated in our conditions of sale, liability is limited to the replacement of the strain and, if this is not possible, a refund will be given.*

I have read, understood and accept this statement

CABI may use the information provided in this form, along with scientific results arising from analysis of the sample, for scientific research purposes. Your personal data such as contact details may be shared with partners or donors but will not be shared with third parties or included in any scientific reports. However, our privacy policy is available here. We would like to retain the contact details you have provided indefinitely in order to contact you in the future about the samples you wish to purchase, or if there are further scientific developments we think may be of interest to you. CABI would like to contact you in the future about other services we offer that we think may be of interest to you. Please indicate below if you are willing for CABI to contact you for this purpose:
