COLLECTION OF MICROORGANISMS – BIORESOURCES AND DATABASE

Abstract

The Republican Collection of Microorganisms (RCM) is a depository of industrial microorganisms intended for research and analytical work, for the organization of biotechnological production.The Biobank of industrial microorganisms of the RCM stores more than 700 strains from various taxonomic groups (bacteria, actinomycetes, yeast, mycelial fungi). In Kazakhstan, there is no single annotated database (DB) of collectible strains of industrial microorganisms, including information about their- and genotypic characteristics.In this regard, the VRCM is working on the creation of a database, containing the genetic characteristics of deposited strains of industrial microorganisms.To compare genomes, the BLAST+ software package (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is used according to the instructions of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).The creation of a database of genomic sequences of microorganisms based on the BLAST computer program (nucleotide group) and the storage of information in the Biobank of industrial microorganisms of the RCM will contribute to improving the quality of service function and safety of collection cultures.
