Miguel,

depending on what general information you are looking for, this may be helpful

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/browse/

If you click on Organism and then select bacteria, you will get information on some 38,000 different bacteria.

This is organized based on genomic data.

When you click through the individual projects, you can get in depth information and links to other databases.

An example is given here.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=393305

You can probably also do a Google search for more options.

Thanks, I've used that one before and unfortunately I'm looking for some more general information and not as specific as the genome (yet).

What I mean for "general information" is:

-Name,

-family,

-taxonomy,

-how to find the bacteria and/or why is used?

-most used cultures,

- how to grow it,

-optimal conditions,

-average specific growth rate,

-how to see it at microscope.

(I don't know if there's a database which actually show that information, but it would be great if at least can show some of that info)

All information you require is difficult to be in one place, "general information" about your first three categories mentioned can be found at Data Portal of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, (http://data.gbif.org/species/3/) then you can search the scientific databases for your interested species.

I use zipcodezoo.com for plants info mostly. They say they have info for 16,360 species and subspecies in the Kingdom Bacteria. You should check out.

You can visit Euzeby's website on List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature: LPSN.....where you can find the recent and correct taxonomic information. In this site, you will find the link of original papers for the respective bacteria where all required information will be available.......otherwise you can visit the official websites ATCC or DSMZ where you can search their database with bacterial name or accession number and can get some information............however, I will suggest you to consult LPSN and go through the original paper for all relevant and authentic information about the bacteria you want to study............

As said by Mr. Hillol, you can get all the details of bacteria by checking in these culture collection centres...ATCC, DSMZ, etc.. You can also try Strain info...www.straininfo.net/

Hi, Miguel,

Maybe you can try this one: http://www.bacterio.net/links.html#culture

and check the list of Culture Collections of Prokaryotes with a Significant Internet Presence (listed by acronyms). I find it extremely useful for serching information on the bacterial species and strains, organized by collections that hold them worldwide.

Hi Miguel,

have you tried "List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature:

LPSN" its an up to date bacterial library.

hope this helps,

Kind regards

look for Bergeys manual determinative bacteriology

I completely loved that last one Gittan! Thanks and it was really interesting!

P.S: Thanks for all the other answers, new answers are always very welcomed!

Glad to hear you like it! Thanks for feedback, I will forward it. I know my colleagues have worked a lot with the database for several years.

The GOLD database, is a World Wide Web resource for comprehensive access to information regarding genome and metagenome sequencing projects, and their associated metadata, around the world.

The Global Catalogue of Microorganisms may be more closely related to what you were originally looking for, I hope it helps!
