# Banyuls Bacterial Culture Collection - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `banyuls-bacterial-culture-collection.fr` ## Description The Banyuls Bacterial Culture Collection (BBCC) is a scientific resource for environmental bacterial strains, established in 2001 under its former name, MOLA. Located at the Banyuls Observatory in France, which is run by Sorbonne University and the CNRS, the collection is part of the European research infrastructure EMBRC and the French national infrastructure EMBRC-France. It maintains more than 3,700 environmental bacterial strains, with new strains added regularly. BBCC provides an online catalogue that helps users explore its holdings by strain, species, taxonomic group, or other available details. Catalogue records include strain information, and the website also offers access to strain sequences and references. Visitors can browse a strain map, review collection statistics and facilities, and find information about projects, staff, and access and benefit-sharing compliance. These resources support discovery and research involving the collection’s diverse bacterial holdings. The website highlights strains from a range of genera and ecosystems, making BBCC a specialized point of reference for researchers seeking information about environmental bacterial cultures and their associated scientific data. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Biology _(under Science and Education)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idRdz706or/w/842/h/335/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1791015130712) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Bay of Many | #274d8a | accent | | Surfie Green | #117a8b | dark | | Anakiwa | #9fcdff | light | ## Fonts - Font Awesome 5 Free — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
