1 EMbaRC European Consortium of Microbial Resource Centres Journée d'information PCN Infrastructures Paris, mercredi 8 septembre 2010 Sylvie Lortal, Coordinatrice Sylvie.Lortal@rennes.inra.fr Yohan Lecuona, Chef de Projet Yohan.Lecuona@rennes.inra.fr

2 2010!! La biodiversité microbienne = première source de gènes de la planète Tous les métabolismes connus sont représentés cycles du carbone, de l azote, dépollution, essentielles dans l agriculture, dans l alimentation, produisent des composants cruciaux tq hormones, vitamines, antibiotiques. essentielles à notre digestion & notre santé / certaines effets négatifs Richesse à préserver et explorer avec un fort potentiel de valeur ajoutée & innovation

3 OCDE Collecte biotopes variés Enrichir Rapatriement collection Identification Services Formation Mise au point d identification & typage Microorganismes Explorer en partenariat Propriétés phénotypiques d intérêt Conserver Distribuer Origine de la biodiversité génomique

4 OCDE Collecte biotopes variés Enrichir Rapatriement collection Identification Services Formation Mise au point d identification & typage Microorganismes Explorer en partenariat Propriétés phénotypiques d intérêt Conserver Distribuer Origine de la biodiversité génomique Les collections sont des partenaires de recherche et des acteurs de la société

5 Souches isolées biotopes variées Nouvelle espèce Collection référencée Accessibilité? Nouvelles souches esp. connue «Collection de laboratoire» Recouvre des réalités très variables Traçabilité? Qualité? Disparaître de la circulation!! Congélateur X

6 Sens de notre action dans EMbaRC Make it recognize as a key Infrastructure Huge Biodiversity >>> Input BRC EMbaRC BRC Collection Collection BRC BRC Collection output Users Science BRC Collection BRC Innovation Improve ourself No guarantee of access and long term preservation! <0,9% deposited..

7 Why EMbaRC? Previous networking initiatives: some examples National level FR: CCRB (2001), UK: UKNCC (1947), JP: JSCC (1951), BE: BCCM (1983) European level ECCO (European Culture Collections Organisation, 1981) Projects since the 1980s: MINE, CABRI, EBRCN Global level WFCC (1970) GBRCN (2008) Janssens et al. (2010), Res. Microbiol. 161(6) From Culture Collections to Biological Resource Centres OECD role in the recognition of the BRCs (2001)

8 EMbaRC: What for? New tools in biological sciences «omics» Bioeconomy: economic sectors & society Need of improved acess to well preserved and characterized micro-organisms New means of funding for BRCs Partnerships with private sector Harmonisation and collaboration for competitive and costefficient BRCs

18 EMbaRC for research Joint Research Activities (JRA) - RDT Strain & DNA preservation: longer shelf-life European microbial DNA bank network Exploring new methods for accurate species identification like mass spectrometry

19 EMbaRC Networking & Support offer Transnational Access (TA) - SUPP 95 trans-national accesses offered to users: Biological resources Joint expertise Services Data Species identification Strain typing, characterization High throughput screening Training User-targeted Networking Activities - COORD Outreach programme Training workshops Dissemination events Web portal
