Description: The CNR-IBBR-CELITABASE frozen collection consists in more than 3,000 transgenic and mutant strains of non-parasitic nematodes, Caenorhabditis elegans species, accumulated over forty years. The collection, established in early ’80s by Dr. Paolo Bazzicalupo, is kept as triplicate, is unique in Italy and supports numerous Italian groups. C. elegans is the only multicellular animal model that can be frozen and stabs are stable for decades.

Description: The CNR-IBBR-SUB collection is maintained at Institute of Biosciences and Bioresources (IBBR) in Naples, Italy. It includes endophytic bacteria isolated from rice plants grown in Italy and in the State of Mali (West Africa), as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria isolated from the industrial zone of the port of Marghera (Venice, Italy). Microorganisms are cryopreserved at -80 °C resuspended in growth media containing cryoprotectants (glycerol). Frozen microorganisms can be revived by thawing at 37 °C and inoculating into fresh culture medium. The main aim of the collection is to study bacteria interacting with legumes and cereals (e.g., N-fixation, phytohormones production, etc.) and their ability to improve host plants resistance to abiotic stresses.
