American Type Culture Collection ATCC

Since 1925 when initiated operations, the ATCC became a global non-profit bioresource center that provides biological products, technical services, and educational programs to private industry, government, and academic organizations. The biological products include not only microorganisms, but also derivative materials and biomolecules. They

Other scientific disciplines required standards. WTien the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) was founded in 1925, one of its chief roles was to be a source of standards for the rapidly developing public health laboratory activity in the USA. In this context we mean standard organisms, rather than standard materials or chemicals, but their use was analogous, they helped produce better analytical data.

Calu-3 (American type culture collection ATCC HTB-55) is a human bronchial epithelial cell line derived from an adenocarcinoma of the lung [59], This cell line has been shown to exhibit serous cell properties and form confluent monolayers of mixed cell phenotypes, including ciliated and secretory cell types [60], but the cilia are formed very irregularly and seem to disappear with increasing passage number (unpublished observations, C.E. and B.F.). Calu-3 cells have shown utility as a model to examine transport [61-63] and metabolism in human bronchial epithelial cells for many therapeutic compounds [64], Furthermore, they have been used in a number of particlecell interaction studies [65-67], The interactions between respiratory epithelial cells and particulates are discussed more in detail in Chap. 19.

S. badius and S. viridosporus are obtained from the American Type Cultures Collection, ATCC 39115 and 39117, respectively. 

For the screening, 25 microbial cultures, obtained from the University of Mississippi Department of Pharmacognosy culture collection, were used. Microbial bioconversion studies of sarcophine (45) showed that it can be metabolized by several fungi species. Preparative-scale fermentation with Absidia glauca American-type culture collection (ATCC) 22752, Rhizopus arrhizus ATCC 11145, and R. stolonifer ATCC 24795 resulted in the isolation... 

CaSki cells can be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD). 

Any strain of yeast grown as a suspension culture. You can obtain a strain of yeast from a microbiology laboratory. You can buy a specific strain from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Rockville, MD. Recommended strain is Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4126. 

Despite extensive efforts over 40 years, it was not until 1993 that a pure culture of an atrazine-mineralizing bacterium was isolated, patented (Mandelbaum and Wackett, 1996), and deposited in the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 55464). Interestingly, within a short time several other pure bacterial cultures that could mineralize atrazine were also described (Yanze-Kontchou and Gschwind, 1994 Mandelbaum et al., 1995 Radosevich et al., 1995a Mandelbaum and Wackett, 1996 Moscinski et al. 1996 Boundy-Mills et al., 1997 Bouquard et al., 1997 Struthers etal., 1998). 

B. subtilis 6633, obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), provided by Dr. Leon Rabinovitch (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz/ FIOCRUZ), was maintained on nutrient agar (Difco 0003) slants at 4°C. 

Microbial Procedures. A pure culture of T. ferrooxidans obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) was used in this study for the shake-flask experiments and the 2-inch slurry pipe-... 

It should be noted that the World Health Organization has sponsored the creation of a fully characterized cell bank for vaccine manufacture purposes. Samples are available from ECACC and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). 

Microbial Sources. In many cases, screening for the microbial production of volatiles can be achieved by selecting pure cultures of microorganisms from public collections such as the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The chances of obtaining an effective culture can often be improved by selecting organisms known to perform the desired types of reactions. 

Enzyme Preparation. A crude enzyme mixture was prepared from the fermentate of Candida rugosa (American Type Culture Collection, ATCC No. 14830. The rugosa was revived and cultivated in YM Agar slants at 24°C for one week. The growth on one YM Agar slant was transferred aseptically to a two-liter flask containing 400 ml sterilized fermentation medium consisting of 2.0% defatted soyflour,... 

A partial listing including web addresses of some of the largest culture sources are given in Table 2, and many of these have links to most of the other available strain collections. Some of these include the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and the DSMZ German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures. 

Streptomyces avidinii can be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 27419) and grown in a medium according to Stapley et al. (1963) on 2% agar plates at 30"C. Spores from four plates are used to inoculate 4 1 of medium, which is then incubated for 3 days at 30 C. The medium is clarified by centrifugation (10 min, 10000 xg) and concentrated in an Amicon concentrator (PM 10 membrane) to 400 ml. To this solution at 0"C, (NH4)2S04...
