Other culture collection numbers

Field

Other culture collection numbers

Description

Numbers of the element under which it is distributed by other culture collections, incl. non-CABRI numbers if possible (e.g. ATCC, NCTC, plasmid collection of Vicente, …)

Input process

HGMP will be asked to generate the content of this field automatically, based on the name of the element. Clients must be warned that although the elements have the same name, the physical material may vary.

Reference list: not necessary if automated

Required for

MDS

Restricted distribution

Field

Restricted distribution

Description

Restriction for the delivery and the use of the phage

Input process

enter "no", or a text field describing the appropriate restrictions: hazard group, import/export regulations, .. The text may contain codes which refer to text files explaining the restrictions in more detail.

Required for

MDS

Literature

Field

Literature

Description

Original publication in which the element is described.

Input process

new entry:

JournalTitle Year;Volume(issue):beginning page#'-'ending page#

The journal title is abbreviated following international standard rules (ISSN abbreviations).

The abbreviations are without dot. The title of the article is not mentioned.

existing catalogues: conversion by SRS following CABRI agreed standard

Host for propagation

Field

Host for propagation

Description

Description of suitable host strains (on family, genus, species level), where possible completed with requirements for infection on phenotypic level (e.g. gram-negative bacteria, or E. coli LamB+)
