Over 4,000 strains of molds, yeasts, and bacteria

Photo substrat
The BRC FAN (Fungi Agri-food eNvironment) mainly houses and distributes filamentous fungi and yeasts isolated from various substrates and environments, most of which originate from LUBEM research projects (EA 3882 USC INRAe 1504). Over 60% of the collection is available for distribution.

Biological resources hosted at the CRB FAN of the UBOCC.
