PTCC at a glance Main Functions:
Preservation and provision of microorganisms for scientific, industrial, agricultural, environmental and medical research, teaching and other area of biotechnology and applied microbiology.
To supply scientists, research and academic institutions with PTCC strains
To act as an internationally recognized collection centre for the deposit of microorganisms, and other biological materials which have been cited in scientific literature or which are used in national or international test procedures
To function in a confidential manner, as a centre for the safe deposit of biological material
Providing information about the microbial strains which are maintained in the collection by the means of databases and website

Deposit of Microorganisms
Public deposit
Makes up the bulk of PTCC's holdings
Distribution from public collection to the scientific community
The deposits are catalogued and publicly available for further
study
In the case of description of new species and subspeicies the
accession numbers of at least two publicity accessible service
collections in different countries are needed
The information is published in catalogue.
Safe deposit
Safe-deposited material is neither catalogued nor distributed to third parties
The information related to the strain and the depositor remains strictly confidential
The depositor should pay the price of maintenance
Two options are possible:
1- The material is deposited for an undefined period
2- The material is deposited for a predefined period
Strains of the safe deposit collection are only available to the depositor or to third parties with the written authorization of the depositor
Preservation Conditions The strains are preserved by
freeze drying and cryopreservation (liquid nitrogen as well as Ultra freezers)
The viability of the strains will be checked periodically.
In the case of safe deposit the depositor will be received a subculture resulting from the yearly viability test.
The depositor will validate the authenticity of one the samples from freeze dried samples that the depository has prepared for long term storage

The Benefits of QMS Establishments
1- Monitoring all the processes in PTCC
2- Assessment the customer satisfactions
3- Traceability of the distributed strains
4- Data gathering and analysis twice in a year (Internal
audit)
5- Achieving greater consistency in the activities
involved in providing products or services
6- Increase efficiency by improving use of time and
resources
The Number of holdings
• More than 2000 Bacteria species
• More than one third of these have not been characterized!
• More than 500 fungi strain and only about one fifths have been characterized!
• About 70 yeast strains, mostly characterized, because they have been purchased from other culture collections.
PTCC Program for expansion
1- Publication of our DNA Bank until February 2015
2- Establishment of Microalgae collection until the end of 2016
3- Meeting the requirements of PTCC’s laboratories accreditation schemes based on ISO 17025 to June to August 2015
4- Creating customer database for tracing the PTCC strains in the country (Need WDCM help!)
Thank you for your attention!
