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

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)
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 cost-efficient BRCs
