The Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Microorganisms (BCCM) consist of four complementary research-based service culture collections: BCCM/IHEM biomedical fungi & yeasts BCCM/LMBP plasmids & DNA libraries BCCM/LMG bacteria BCCM/MUCL (agro)industrial fungi & yeasts. These collections are coordinated by a central team at the Belgian Federal Science Policy.

This page gives access to the digitized version of the Roche Applied Science "Biochemical Pathways" wall chart. The electronic Biochemical Pathways allows the user to search the wall charts with keywords, set focus effects, activate filtering functions and zooming in on the details and elements of interest.

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

The CGSC Database of E.coli genetic information includes genotypes and reference information for the strains in the CGSC collection, gene names, properties, and linkage map, gene product information, and information on specific mutations. This collection includes only non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli: predominantly K-12 derivatives, but a few B strains. It includes cultures of wild-type contributed from a number of laboratories and a few thousand derivatives carrying one or up to 29 mutations from among 3500 mutations in (or included in deletions spanning) more than 1300 different loci. Some combinations were constructed particularly for mapping purposes and are still used for teaching and for rapid localization, some for manifestation of a particular phenotype, some strains for transferring a particular region or for complementation analysis. Some plasmids, e.g., the Clarke and Carbon collection, F-primes, a number of toolkit plasmids, and a few classic plasmids are included...

Colibri provides a complete dataset of DNA and protein sequences derived from the paradigm strain E. coli K-12, linked to the relevant annotations and functional assignments. It allows one to easily browse through these data and retrieve information, using various criteria (gene names, location, keywords, etc.).

The online recording platform "Deutschlandflora-Portal" has been established for managing wildlife records in Germany. As part of a project of research and development the web platform is organized by the botanical association "Network Phytodiversity of Germany (NetPhyD)" in collaboration with the association "Gesellschaft zur Erforschung der Flora Deutschlands (GEFD)". Cartographic representation of the occurrence of ferns and vascular plants as well as other taxon groups is one of it's main aim. Here you can collate records and share your sightings with the german recording community of floristic surveyors.

The Information System Genetic Resources (GENRES) offers information about rare tree species in Germany. These are based on the results of nationally surveys - supported by BMEL - using standardized methodologies to preserve genetic resources of rare and endangered tree species (Black Poplar, Common Yew, Downy Oak, Elm species, Field Maple, Green Alder and Grey Alder, Service Tree, Wild Apple, Wild Cherry, Wild Pear and Wild Service Tree). GENRES is hosted by the Information- and Coordination Centre for Biological Diversity at the BLE.

The Interactive Metabolic Pathways Map shows biochemical reactions of the main biological pathways in life in an overview. The "backbone" of the map is the Glycolytic Pathway followed by the TCA (Krebs) Cycle and the Respiratory Chain which together lead to the synthesis of ATP by ATP Synthase. Many biosynthetic and breakdown pathways of metabolism such as carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids are associated with this backbone and are differentiated by the use of color. Metabolites, enzymes, and selected pathways are searchable and interactive. Some 550 reactions are identified by their IUBMB Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers which are then indexed.

Classification of protein families -- InterPro provides functional analysis of proteins by classifying them into families and predicting domains and important sites. To classify proteins in this way, InterPro uses predictive models, known as signatures, provided by several different databases (referred to as member databases) that make up the InterPro consortium. We combine protein signatures from these member databases into a single searchable resource, capitalising on their individual strengths to produce a powerful integrated database and diagnostic tool.

The List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature is a database that lists the names of prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) that have been validly published in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology directly or by inclusion in a Validation List, under the Rules of International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. Currently there are about 16 000 taxa listed. In addition, LPSN has an up-to-date classification of prokaryotes and information on prokaryotic nomenclature and culture collections.

Nearly all proteins have structural similarities with other proteins and, in some of these cases, share a common evolutionary origin. The SCOP database, created by manual inspection and abetted by a battery of automated methods, aims to provide a detailed and comprehensive description of the structural and evolutionary relationships between all proteins whose structure is known. As such, it provides a broad survey of all known protein folds, detailed information about the close relatives of any particular protein, and a framework for future research and classification.
