All-Russian Collection of Microorganisms (VKM)
•1958 – VKM established in the Institute of Microbiology, Moscow
•1964 – the first catalogue was published
•1980 – VKM was re-allocated to Pushchino, Moscow region
VKM is the department at G.K. Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry
and Physiology of Microorganisms Russian Academy of Sciences
(IBPM RAS)
«Center for the collection, maintenance, study and dispatch of
microorganisms and associated information for scientific,
educational and industrial organizations»
•1987 – VKM recognized as an International Depository Authority (IDA) under
the Budapest Treaty for the deposit of microorganisms for patent purposes
•Membership in WFCC and ECCO
-
- VKM is the largest among the microbiological collections in Russia
- Over 21000 strains of bacteria, archaea, filamentous fungi
and yeasts are currently maintained in the collection
- The VKM on-line catalog includes over 7,500 strains
(more than 750 genera and 3,300 species)
- Strains originate from various ecosystems of different geography,
including Arctic and Antarctica
-
Coming in from the cold
A “cool” VKM sub-collection includes over 2000 strains
The age of permafrost
sediments was estimated to
reach up to 3 million years
The strains mainly originate from
- permafrost soil
- ancient plant seeds found in
permafrost
- frozen volcano ashes
- non-frozen sodium-chloride
water brines (cryopegs)
located in permafrost
sediments of marine origin

Nearly 1100 strains
of the “cool” VKM sub-collection are filamentous fungi
(73 genera and 186 species)
Majority of the strains belong to the genera Penicillium, Geomyces and Cladosporium,
many species of which possess high adaptive capabilities and some grow at -2 °C, at high salt concentration (20%) and under low oxygen tension
Taxa Genera Species Strains Strains identified at the species level
Ascomycota 69 179 925 883
Basidiomycota 3 3 13 8
Mucoromycota 1 4 8 8
Total 73 186 1067 899

Yeasts mycocins (killer toxins)
•Over 1000 strains have been
tested
•Grouping of yeast strains on
the basis of sensitivity to
mycocins correlates with their
clustering based on the DNA
sequences.
•Make it possible to reveal
heterogeneity of the yeast
species.
•Many strains with antifungal
activities against plant
pathogenic fungi have been
found

STEROIDs (Greek, stereos = solids)
Steroid medicines are now ranked among the most marketed products of pharmaceutical
industry (second after antibiotics)
Steroids have originated hundreds millions years ago.
They are regarded as chemical fossils and often used
as geochemical markers in the sediment maturity
estimation in petroleum geochemistry
Key Pharmaceutical Indications
for Steroid Drugs
Antiinflammation: Asthma, Arthritis, Crohn‘s Disease, Colitis, etc. Female Health: Contraception, Endometriosis, Hormone Replacement Therapy, etc. Male health: Prostate Hyperplasia, Anabolics, etc. Oncology: Brain Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, etc. Heart Health: Hypertension, Heart Failure, Diuretics, etc. Healthy Digestion: Obesity, Hepatocirrhosis, Bile gallstones,
Cholecystitis, etc.
• Cholesterol, plant sterols • Neurosteroids • Vitamin D3 • Mineralocorticoids • Bile acids • Adrenocorticoids • Sex hormones • Plant hormones • Ecdysteroids (moulting hormones), others…
Steroids are widely used in agriculture and veterinary; their control is of importance for
ecobiotechnology and other fields

VKM obligations in EOSC-Life
• VKM makes interconnection between
(1) the system of biological databases of EOSC-Life partners
and
(2) the system of strains in European microbial culture
collections (CC).
• In preliminary step most of the databases available on Internet
were inspected (Biosharing, MetaBase, ELIXIR Data Resources,
in ExPASy, NAR and in majority of other sources).
• Databases were characterised by 16 parameters. Using the
database's interconnection system constructed in this research,
the data integration level indicators were calculated.
• With these indicators, the minimum number of integration
contracts sufficient for desirable level of interconnection with
biological databases was discovered. The current effort is to bring
the latest databases study, necessary quality level, connection to the latest EOSC data structures, and FAIRness.

Towards the genomic center
- Efforts to organize a center for genomic research at the Institute
- The group of genomics and bioinformatics has been established
- More than 50 genomes have been sequenced by now
(The sequencing was performed mainly in the «centers
of collective use» in Russia and in the framework of
realization of international projects).
- Approval of a large-scale program in the field of genomic research
in Russia (2018)
- Collaboration with WDCM within the framework of GCM 2.0 project
