Depending on the organism and enzyme you are interested in you may try contacting culture collections to be advised on bacteria and yeasts they keep. Many of them offer also searchable online catalogs.

There are just a few links to culture collections offering bacteria and yeast cultures:

DSMZ: www.dsmz.de

ATCC: www.lgcstandards-atcc.org

CBS: www.cbs.knaw.nl

PYCC: pycc.bio-aware.com

BCCM: bccm.belspo.be

Phaff Collection: phaffcollection.ucdavis.edu

DBVPG: www.agr.unipg.it/dbvpg

NBRC: www.nbrc.nite.go.jp

JCM: www.jcm.riken.jp

Also find the link to the World Federation of Culture Collection, which might be useful to find collection the most suitable for your needs: www.wfcc.org

That´s right. You should specify what enzyme, or at least the purpose for which do you need it are you looking for and then search in databases which organisms produce it. Then you look in catalogs of culture collections for the pertinent microbe.

It is very difficult purchase Microbial Strains for inductrial porpouse. They are the core of a indultrial processes. You need to isolate it, characterized and so on. If you find strain for industrial porpouses and the owner sales it , your very lucky man. In the different collections you can find strains but I don´t know if there are industrial strains

If it is a producing strain and has been patented, you should contact the patent owners and buy a licence to use the strain from them. It usually costs a lot of money, reflecting the cost of strain isolation and optimizing production conditions. Sometimes, production strains can be isolated from the products themselves where they may occur as a contaminant; needless to say that use of such strains for commercial purposes is illegal.

My answer is you have to for trapping a microbe from you area from air, soil, and water and go for characterization from the any organization of the country. That way the organisms may yeast industrial enzyme production according to your local atmoshperic condtions. I think you better characterize from your locality than purchasing from the different organizatons of the world.

well you can see the recent research papers of active enzyme producing bacteria/yeast which can be the suitable candidates for industries (high production or special characters), then simply contact the corresponding authors and asked them whether they have put their microbe in any public access culture collection. However the best strategy should be as directed above by many contributors, i.e. to try to isolate the wild strains from nature and check their enzymes, by this way may be you can get better strains than others.

Thanks a lot for all answers. Now I have some idea about my work :)

check: ATCC, DSMZ, or on-line publish papers

Try ATCC or Remel

Your Question is very generic. What kind of enzimes do you need? When you answer this you can look for the approiated microorganism. And then ask for it in some of the international collections.
