CIRM-Levures - Collections

›› The Saccharomycotina yeast collection

a collection which contains more than 1200 strains and associated taxonomic data and includes 120 type strains (click here for catalogue)
a confidential collection of industrial strains belonging to the depositors

Stocks are preserved :
in suspensions in cryopreservator-medium at between -176 and -150 °C
lyophilized in sealed tubes kept at 4 °C

Samples of each culture are preserved at both sites of the AgroParisTech :
Paris
Grignon

›› The Genolevures clone collection

Partial genomic libraries of 13 yeast species genomes and associated DNA sequences (http://cbi.labri.fr/Genolevures/)
Libraries of clones produced as a part of the systematic genome sequencing of five species :

Kluyveromyces lactis var. lactis (BAC clones)
Debaryomyces hansenii var. hansenii (libraries of 3 and 10 kb inserts and BAC clones)
Yarrowia lipolytica (libraries of 3 and 10 kb inserts and BAC clones)
Zygosaccharomyces rouxii (BAC clones)
Pichia sorbitophila (BAC clones)
