NCIMB Major UK Repository for Environmental Bacteria
 | The National Collection of Industrial, Food and Marine Bacteria (NCIMB) is the major UK repository for environmental bacteria. These are sourced from a variety of habitats worldwide and have a wide range of potential uses.
Bacteria held by NCIMB can be used in disinfectant testing and the production of antibiotics or industrial enzymes, as well as for bioremediation, bio-assay and food production processes and many other applications.

- Adding Cultures to our Collection
New additions
As an important genetic resource centre, we always welcome new additions to our collection.

Organisms with novel properties, enzymes or metabolites are particularly welcomed.
