CIRM-CF

A Biological Resource Center dedicated to the preservation of filamentous fungi of agro-industrial interest and to their valorization.

Direct access to the CIRM-CF catalog.

The CIRM-CF (International Microbial Resource Center - Filamentous Fungi) is a BRC dedicated to filamentous fungi (mainly basidiomycetes and ascomycetes) involved in the transformation of plant biomass. The fungal strains  come from unique biotopes (temperate forest, tropical, polluted agro-industrial sites ...). Aiming at a high level of quality, CIRM-CF's collections and services have been ISO 9001 certified since 2006, for the acquisition, authentication, conservation, diffusion and functional screening of fungal resources.
