Building where the Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG) is located.
Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG) is a Swedish microbial culture repository located in Gothenburg (Sweden) established by Enevold Falsen in 1968 and affiliated with the University of Gothenburg. The current curator is Prof. Dr. Edward R. B. Moore and it maintains bacterial, filamentous fungal and yeasts cultures, but it does not hold extremophiles and does not dispatch the most hazardous organisms classified in biosafety level 3. More than 73,000 strains of more than 4,500 species have so far been examined, whereof more than 21,000 are displayed on Internet. It represents the largest public collection of bacteria in Europe. The CCUG has been devoted to the identification of bacteria. The search engine is sophisticated and useful for clinical microbiologists who may check their diagnosis of an unusual species or order on-line a reference strain.
The CCUG also performs research and development of novel methods for rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases mainly by using molecular, genomic and proteomic approaches.
A microbiological culture, or microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms by letting them reproduce in predetermined culture medium under controlled laboratory conditions. Microbial cultures are foundational and basic diagnostic methods used as research tools in molecular biology.

Mycobacterium heckeshornense is a species of the phylum Actinomycetota, belonging to the genus Mycobacterium.
Mycobacterium holsaticum is a species of the phylum Actinomycetota, belonging to the genus Mycobacterium.
Mycobacterium montefiorense is a species of bacteria which cause granulomatous skin disease of moray eels. Sequence analysis, of the 16S rRNA gene reveals M. montefiorense is most closely related to Mycobacterium triplex, an opportunistic pathogen of humans.
Mycoplasma agassizii is a species of bacteria in the genus Mycoplasma. This genus of bacteria lacks a cell wall around their cell membrane. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. Mycoplasma are the smallest bacterial cells yet discovered, can survive without oxygen and are typically about 0.1 µm in diameter.
Scandinavium is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It contains a single species, Scandinavium goeteborgense. The type strain of the species is S. goeteborgenseCCUG 66741T = CECT 9823T = NCTC 14286T and its genome sequence is publicly available in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank under the accession number LYLP00000000.
Acinetobacter portensis is a species of Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter described in 2020. The description was based on the characterization of four strains, isolated from raw beef, chicken, pork and turkey meat, collected from supermarkets in Porto, Portugal, in 2014. The type strain of the species is available at the Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG) and the Czech Collection of Microorganisms (CCM), under the deposit numbers CCUG 68672T and CCM 8789T, respectively. The draft genome sequence of the type strain is deposited in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank under the accession number LWRV00000000.
