The Transfer of the Management of IAM Culture Collection

IAM Culture Collection has closed in 2008, and all the cultures

were transferred to JCM Culture Collection (bacteria, yeasts and fungi)

and to NIES Culture Collection (microalgae and cyanobacteria).

Please contact with these two culture collections if you need IAM strains.
