Pure culture techniques were in turn applied to commercial fermentations, which provided more consistent yields of the products desired. Such cultures have been used to make alcohol, yogurt, and citric and lactic acid and other useful products.

Pure culture collections have gained an important role as resources for authentic, reliable microbial cultures for both research and-practical use. The need for international cooperation in establishing such culture collections has become increasingly evident with the development of important microbial biosynthetic processes.

This MIRCEN serves as a pivotal unit for the formation of culture collections in developing countries and for providing data services to the centers acting in liaison with the WDC. A regional MIRCEN at the Applied Scientific Research Corporation of Thailand in Bangkok serves microbiologists of Southeast Asia through the exchange of economically important microbial strains in the region, and by offering training and fellowship programs and promoting research on organisms relevant to the region.

In the early days of culture collections, the cultures were maintained by serial transfer, that is, from culture grown in laboratory tubes or dishes to fresh medium. This method maintains the viability of a colony of microorganisms, but it is frequently ineffective in maintaining genetic integrity and ensuring that the important biosynthetic characteristics will not be lost or modified.

Taxonomic studies are invaluable to culture collections since the material held in a collection must be properly identified and classified. The culture collection is a most appropriate location for taxonomic research, with many major contributions to scientific knowledge made in connection with culture collections.

(The Northern Regional Research Laboratory, however, will not accept pathogenic organisms, and in general restricts its collection to bacteria and fungi.) In case of multinational filing of patent applications, it is necessary to deposit the cultures in each of the countries in which a patent is sought, except in those cases where countries have reached international agreements recognizing each other's depositories.
