The LM-UGent team studies microbial diversity, evolution, taxonomy, ecology, host-microbe interaction and protein biochemistry. Our research topics are diverse and embedded in food, environmental, plant, and medical microbiology.

The BCCM/LMG Bacteria Collection is one of the largest and well-known Biological Resource Centers (BRCs) for bacteria worldwide. BCCM/LMG specializes in deposit, preservation and distribution of bacterial strains, and in bacterial identification and characterization taking into account the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) guidelines.

StrainInSight offers a private strain collection, tools and services for novel strain discovery. Major subcollections include lactic acid and acetic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, plant-associated and bacteria of clinical and veterinary relevance.
