The data portal GBIF international [1] allows free and open access to biodiversity related information. Besides other species, there can be obtained information on bacteria and archaea. In particular, information on the strains of the DSMZ culture collection (DSMZ Prokarya Collection Catalogue [2]) and the collection of phytopathogenic bacteria (GSPB) of the Department of Plant Pathology, University of Göttingen  (GSPB Prokarya Catalogue [3])  can be retrieved.  

Access and provision of data

The accessible data is provided according the ABCD scheme [4] and can be accessed via the BioCASE [5] protocol.

BacDive focuses providing organism-linked information covering the multifarious aspects of bacterial biodiversity. It has been launched in April 2012. BacDive offers taxon-based query functionality and an advanced search [9] form, which allows for combined queries within more than 30 search fields.
