Fungal Culture Collections

Fungal culture collections are specialized repositories that preserve and maintain samples of fungi, including molds, yeasts, and molds. These collections serve as vital resources for scientific research, medicine, agriculture, and industry, enabling accurate identification, study of fungal biodiversity, and development of treatments or biotechnological applications. They ensure fungi are kept under controlled conditions over time, allowing researchers worldwide to access the same reference strains for various purposes. Essentially, they act as secure libraries of fungi, supporting ongoing scientific discovery and practical uses.
