Member holdings

Group(s) of biological resources stored in the collection: yeasts, Candida albicans Orfeome gene set : set of 5102 E.coli clones containing one ORF of C. albicans cloned in a pDONRS gateway plasmid .

CIRM-Levures preserves over 5.000 isolates (2193 can be found in the strain catalogue), belonging to 398 species from 75 genera of the Saccharomycotina subphylum and to the Basidiomycota phylum.

The collection contains:

Yeast strains involved in fermentation, i.e. traditional starters used in winemaking, bakery, brewery, dairy technology and other fermentation industries

Yeast from various geographical origins (French Guiana, the Reunion and Mayotte islands, Arctic glaciers...), for the study of genetic diversity and evolution, and potentially interesting in biotechnology.

Services offered

Strain isolation, preservation and distribution

Molecular taxonomic identification

Genomic characterization

Strain deposit (open, or safe)

Research

The CIRM-Levures is part of the Science for Enology research unit (https://spo.montpellier.hub.inrae.fr/) and participates to projects in relation with other research teams of the unit , focusing on the study of yeast diversity with genomic approaches.
