GUIDELINES FOR CATALOGUE PRODUCTION FDS for bacteria & archaea |
 |
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is the set of data that is asked
to describe each product from each collection.
Each catalogue field has to be
filled in (use a dash - if no information is given).
The MDS is required from new
collection centres when they join CABRI.
The Recommended Data Set: collection
centres are also asked to supply data for recommended fields;
however, if data are
not available, the product is still acceptable
Collection centres are free to provide data for other fields, which are part of the Full Data Set. Here are all the fields that are used by the collection centres:
| Data Set | Field Name | Description |
| MDS | Strain number | Should contain collections' own accession number of the strain. |
| MDS | Other culture collection numbers | Should contain: - accession numbers of the strain in other collections. Can not be given if the strain is unique in the collection. |
| MDS | Restrictions | should contain: - Release conditions/Restrictions - country-specific shipping restrictions - restrictions imposed by the depositor etc. |
| MDS | Organism type | Should contain: bacteria or archaea. |
| MDS | Name | Should contain the full scientific name of the
strain: - Genus name and species epithet - Subspecies * - Pathovar * - Authors of the name *: only if applicable |
| MDS | Infrasubspecific names | Should contain: - variety - designation - epithet - authors and reference Does not apply to all strains. |
| MDS | Status | Should contain: - nomenclature status of the strain (like "type", "neotype", etc.) Does not apply to all strains. |
| MDS | History of deposit | Should contain the history of the element from
depositor to isolator. - Name of depositor - Institute of depositor - Name of isolator - Institute of isolator - Names and institutes in between |
| MDS | Conditions for growth | Should contain: - Culture medium - Atmospheric and light conditions - Temperature conditions |
| MDS | Form of supply | Should contain: - the form in which the strain will be sent to the customer. |
| RDS | Serovar | Should contain: - the serovar name and author. Required for some medically important species. Does not apply to all strains. |
| RDS | Other names | Should contain: - names used for the strain in the past (not synonyms) that may still be in use. Does not apply to all strains. |
| RDS | Isolated from | Should contain name of substrate or host from which the strain was isolated. |
| RDS | Geographic origin | Should contain name of country where strain originated from, followed by details on location. |
| FDS | Sexual state | |
| RDS | Mutant | Should contain type of mutant if strain is a mutant strain. |
| RDS | Genotype | Should contain names of chromosomal markers of the strain. Especially recommended for strains of species for which many genetically modified strains exist. Does not apply to all strains. |
| RDS | Literature | Should contain reference to publication in which the strain
is described. Especially recommended for type strains. |
| FDS | Pathogenicity | |
| FDS | Enzyme production | |
| FDS | Production of metabolites | |
| FDS | Applications | |
| FDS | Catalogue entry | |
