Welcome to the Regional Specialised Collection of Alkanotrophic Microorganisms

The IEGM Regional Specialised Collection of Alkanotrophic Microorganisms (WDCM # 768) is a non profit-making organisation whose aim is to acquire, characterise and identify, preserve and distribute biotechnologically important bacterial cultures involved in the degradation of oil hydrocarbons (including gaseous n-alkanes, such as ethane, propane and n-butane) and other natural and synthetic organic compounds.

Development of the IEGM Collection networking infrastructure was financially supported through a NATO  Networking Infrastructure Grant (NIG 960787)
