Culture collections are clusters of living organisms, their cells or replicable parts (e.g., genomes, plasmids, viruses, cDNAs) organized in a way to provide associated information from each of them. These organisms are widely used as reference material for industrial testing, identification, production of compounds, fuels and food, and represent important tools for the generation of knowledge, scientific and technological development and conservation of biodiversity. Therefore, culture collections play a key role in maintaining them unchanged, ensuring reproducibility and sustainability. These collections can be classified as collections of research, reference and/or service.
