    • Micoteca da Universidade do Minho (MUM) is a filamentous fungi culture collection hosted at the Biological Engineering Centre of University of Minho since 1996. The MUM mission is aiming to maintain and supply fungal strains for teaching and research in biotechnology and life sciences, and to become a centre of knowledge, information and training in mycology, in articulation with other national and international collections. The collection's holdings includes some recognised reference strains and mostly isolates derived from research activities, mainly from the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus.
