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资源中心之一。目前，它的藏品超过50,000件，包括约27,000种不同的细菌和4,000种真菌，800种人类和动物细胞系，41种植物细胞系，1,400种植物病毒和抗血清，以及13,000种不同类型的细菌基因组DNA。所有在DSMZ收集中被接受的生物材料都受到我们的中心服务的广泛的质量控制和生理和分子特性鉴定。此外，DSMZ还提供了关于生物材料的广泛文档和详细诊断信息。其生物资源的空前多样性和质量管理使得DSMZ成为国际知名的科学、诊断实验室、国家参考中心以及工业合作伙伴的供应商。
DSMZ的跨部门研究重点在于(1)微生物多样性和潜在的进化机制(基因组进化、群体遗传学)，(2)生物多样性获取和原位保存的改进方法，以及(3)生物相互作用的分子机制(共生、疾病机制、癌症)。
