The BCCM/IHEM collection is part of the BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at the Scientific Institute of Public Health in Brussels. Our collection is specialized in biomedical fungi, i.e. infectious agents, allergy causing species and mycotoxin producers. The collection holds over 16000 isolates and accepts public, patent and safe deposits.

The BCCM/ITM collection is part of the ISO 9001-certifified BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp. Our collection is specialized in mycbobacteria from human, animal and environmental origin. The collection holds over 700 freeze-dried strains and DNA extracts for a selection of them. We accept public and safe deposits, and distribute viable bacilli as well as DNA extracts.

BCCM/GeneCorner is a partner of the Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM). Funded by the Belgian Science Policy (Belspo), BCCM/GeneCorner, previously known as BCCM/LMBP, is a unique plasmid repository in Europe. BCCM/GeneCorner warrants the long-term storage and distribution of plasmids, microbial host strains and DNA libraries of fundamental, biotechnological, educational or general scientific importance. BCCM/GeneCorner also accepts natural and genetically modified animal or human cell lines, including hybridomas, as well as other genetic material, in the safe deposit and patent deposit collections. BCCM/GeneCorner provides the following services: - characterisation tests: plasmid profile analysis, bacteriophage contamination testing, plasmid sequencing and annotation, ...; - gene technology services: plasmid DNA extraction (small and large scale); - training & consultancy: training on plasmids and host cells, consultancy, collaboration, customized services BCCM/GeneCorner is ISO 9001:2015 certified for accession, control, preservation, storage and supply of biological material and related information in the frame of public deposits, safe deposits and patent deposits.

The BCCM/MUCL collection is part of the BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain). Our collection is specialized in lignocellulolytic fungi, fungi involved in food processing and spoilage, fermentative yeasts, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, fungal pathogens in tropical environments. The collection holds over 30000 strains of filamentous and yeast-like fungi and accepts public, patent and safe deposits.

The BCCM/ULC collection is part of the BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted by the InBios-Centre for Protein Engineering at the University of Liège. BCCM/ULC is a dedicated public collection, currently containing one of the largest collection of documented (sub)polar cyanobacteria worldwide. The collection holds 240 strains, of which the majority is characterized by phenotypic (morphological features based on microscopic observations) and genotypic (16S rRNA and ITS sequences) analyses. The three most important orders of cyanobacteria (Chroococcales, Oscillatoriales, Nostocales) are represented. The strains are unicyanobacterial, but not axenic. They are available as living cultures, and the majority is being cryopreserved (-80°C).
