Collection Name
Microbiology Lab IBBA Pisa Collection (MLIP)
Collection Permanent Identifier
-
Collection Type
Cryopreserved collection, In vivo culture
Owner Institution
Institute of Agriculture Biology and Biotechnology (IBBA) - Section of Pisa, Department of AgriFood Sciences (DiSBA), National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Pisa, IT
Bioresources
Endophytic Bacteria, Soil Bacteria, Phycospheric Bacteria, Filamentous Fungi, Microalgae
Main Taxa
Glomeromycotan fungi; bacteria mainly belonging to Bacillaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Actinobacteria, Xanthomonadaceae; microalgal strains mainly belonging to Chlorella-Micractinium clade and Chlamydomonas sp.
Description
MLIP collection preserves fungal, microalgal and bacterial strains, mainly isolated from the Mediterranean agro-food and natural systems. It contains in vivo and in vitro cultures of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) isolates, endophytic bacteria from Canapa sp., Psoralea sp., phycospheric and mycorrhizospheric/rhizospheric bacteria.
Keywords
Crop biofertilizers and biostimulants (either single isolates or consortia), biocontrol agents, bioremediation, phycoremediation, source of molecules of nutraceutical interest (microalgae).
Preservation Techniques
Cryo: Frezeer at -80 °C and -20 °C, in cryovials with 20% glycerol. Fresh cultures: Refrigerator at 4°C in vials with (i) roots/spore suspensions from in vitro AMF cultures, (ii) roots/spores/mycelium in soil from in vivo AMF cultures, (iii) Vials/plates streaks of bacterial isolates on agar media. Microalgal strains are maintained under controlled light and temperature condition in a growth chamber, both as liquid culture and in agar plates for long storage.
