WORLD DATA CENTRE FOR MICROORGANISMS (WDCM) COMMITTEE
GOALS
The WFCC WDCM is an international information resource for the compilation of data on the location, function, and expertise of culture collections for microorganisms, cultured cell lines, and genetic elements, and provides on-line access to this data. The WDCM serves as a gateway to other international databases on microbial diversity, culture collection catalogues, services, and molecular data concerned with microorganisms. The WDCM Committee acts as an advisory body to facilitate the objectives of the WDCM and provides expert advice.
