An initiative to start working on identification and preservation of economically important bacterial strains from Pakistani ecology.
Microbial Culture Collections play an important role in offering services not only to preserve microorganisms using techniques that maintain viability, purity, and important characteristics of microorganisms, but also to supply high quality microorganisms for use in teaching, research and industrial applications. In Pakistan, long term preservation of microbes is a neglected subject. The importanc
