Culture collections are reservoirs of cultivable microbes, cell lines and gene libraries. Their role and duty are to supply biological resources to biomedical communities; neverthe less, their visibility from the public is low because most culture collections still have poor accesses via the Internet. Therefore the WFCC World Data Center on Micro-organisms (WDCM) developed a database that runs on IBM PCs and compatibles, which are the most popular computer and will be as powerful as workstations. The database includes various information: activities of 484 culture collections from 58 countries; an integrated list of their holdings of bacteria, fungi and yeast; and data entry system for culture collections.
