    |This is the BCCM™/LMG - Bacteria Collection
    |<p>
    |Over 25,000 strains, representing some 3,300 species, subspecies
    | or pathovars, encompassing plant
    | associated and phytopathogenic bacteria (pseudomonads, xanthomonads,
    | erwiniae, agrobacteria, coryneforms, etc.), bacteria of medical or
    | veterinary importance (Arcobacter, Campylobacter, Helicobacter,
    | aeromonads, flavobacteria, bordetellae, enterococci, streptococci),
    | marine bacteria (Vibrionaceae) and various groups of biotechnological
    | interest (such as lactic acid and acetic acid bacteria, N2 fixers,
    | bacilli, streptomycetes, etc.).<br>
    | Most of the commonly used control, test and bioassay strains are
    | incorporated.
