Buying Micro-organism?

Featured Replies

Hello , i was wondering if anybody knows where i could get hold of some Micro-Organism (Please don't suggest all around me) I mean like uncontaminated specimens.

 

I want to know a place on the net which sells them.

You can in fact get pure cultures by diluting a contaminated sample, growing it on a plate, and picking out an individual colony. What do you need your bacteria for?

Getting pure samples from environmental isolates is a non-trivial task and is much more complicated than simple dilution plating. However, one of the largest depositories is the American Type culture collection (ATCC). In addition simple things like E. colis can also be ordered from many biotech companies as e.g. Invitrogen or Fermentas.
