IBT Culture Collection

The internationally recognized IBT (Institut for Bioteknologi) Culture Collection at DTU (DTU Bioengineering, Technical University of Denmark) was founded in 1988 and included 30 years after more than 38.000 fungal isolates/strains and it is continuously growing. The biodiversity covered by the collection mainly falls within the ascomycetous filamentous fungi and yeasts, supplemented with some basidiomycetes and mucoromycetes. The IBT collection includes more than two thousand different fungal species, and for particular species, the collection holds hundreds of different individuals capturing a high level of diversity. The collection comprises fungi from many different habitats, e.g. soil, buildings, food products, and geographical locations in Denmark, and around the world. Nearly all known species of the five genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Paecilomyces, Rasamsonia and Talaromyces are represented via their ex type culture or other authentic cultures. DTU continuously records the production of secondary metabolites (e.g. mycotoxins), along other metadata, for the strains in IBT collection, and strives to make such data accessible to Users of the database at different levels. Cultures are available for exchange (academic purposes) or sale (academic and commercial purposes). IBT = World Federation of Culture Collections (WFCC) no. 758
