Hi. Where else can we get ATCC strain microorganism specifically Bacillus pumilus ATCC 14884? I'm looking for other alternatives for direct ATCC and Microbiologics (Kwik-Stik/Lyfo Disk).
Other than ATCC, you can purchase from MTCC, Sigma Aldrich, Thermo Fisher, etc. in the lyophilised form.
Dear Nur,
please check Bacillus Genetic Stock Center (BGSC). It is specialized in Bacilli:

Alternatively, you can check the BCRC or RIKEN strain collection or

If you're seeking alternatives to ATCC and Microbiologics for acquiring Bacillus pumilus ATCC 14884 or its equivalent, several reputable international culture collections offer genetically identical or functionally equivalent strains. One of the most reliable sources is DSMZ (Germany), which provides DSM 361—recognized as equivalent to ATCC 14884. Other options include NCTC (UK), which lists NCTC 8241, CCM (Czech Republic) with CCM 2218, and NCIB (UK) offering NCIB 8982.
