The DSMZ is one of the largest biological resource centers worldwide. Its collections currently comprise more than 50,000 items, including about 27,000 different bacterial and 4,000 fungal strains, 800 human and animal cell lines, 41 plant cell lines, 1,400 plant viruses and antisera, and 13,000 different types of bacterial genomic DNA. All biological materials accepted in the DSMZ collection are subject to extensive quality control and physiological and molecular characterization by our central services. In addition, DSMZ provides an extensive documentation and detailed diagnostic information on the biological materials. The unprecedented diversity and quality management of its bioresources render the DSMZ an internationally reknown supplier for science, diagnostic laboratories, national reference centers, as well as industrial partners.
The trans-sectoral research of the DSMZ focuses on (1) microbial diversity and the underlying evolutionary mechanisms (genome evolution, population genetics), (2) improved methods for the access and ex situ preservation of biodiversity, as well as (3) molecular mechanisms of biological interactions (symbioses, mechanisms of disease, cancer).
DSMZ是世界上最大的生物資源中心之一。目前，它的藏品超過50,000件，包括約27,000種不同的細菌和4,000種真菌，800種人類和動物細胞系，41種植物細胞系，1,400種植物病毒和抗血清，以及13,000種不同類型的細菌基因組DNA。所有在DSMZ收集中被接受的生物材料都受到我們的中心服務的廣泛的質量控制和生理和分子特性鑒定。此外，DSMZ還提供了關于生物材料的廣泛文檔和詳細診斷信息。其生物資源的空前多樣性和質量管理使得DSMZ成為國際知名的科學、診斷實驗室、國家參考中心以及工業合作伙伴的供應商。
DSMZ的跨部門研究重點在于(1)微生物多樣性和潛在的進化機制(基因組進化、群體遺傳學)，(2)生物多樣性獲取和原位保存的改進方法，以及(3)生物相互作用的分子機制(共生、疾病機制、癌癥)。
