Abstract

Microbial repositories are seminal to the development of biotechnology and its myriad applications in animal and agriculture bio-economy. These are the specialized storehouses of authenticated microbial cultures and accessory products needed for research and development in the animal agriculture. The public fund managed microbial culture collections like National Centre for Veterinary Type Cultures (NCVTC) and National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM), initiated by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), are the future of the emerging agriculture bio-economy as they cement their positions as premier sources of authenticated microbial resources from ex situ preserved biodiversity of microbial strains of veterinary, dairy, rumen, and agriculture origins. Apart from this, they can fuel the development of taxonomy and exploration of animal microbial biodiversity and act as source of new knowledge, data, and skill in the field of microbiology. Their role as managers and disseminators of IPR issues is related to safekeeping of various categories of strain deposits. Although the demands and expectations from repositories are increasing, the challenges faced in the day-to-day functioning and maintenance of culture collection are also enormous.
