The European Culture Collections’ Organisation (ECCO, www.eccosite.org) was founded as a non-profit organisation in 1981 with the mission to support the interests of European culture collections of microorganisms (bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and cell lines of plant, animal and human origin) and help them to improve scientific and technical standards. Furthermore, it endeavours to inform and support users of material maintained by microbial collections. In order for culture collections to qualify for corporate membership in ECCO, they: (i) have to be registered in the WFCC-MIRCEN World Data Centre for Microorganisms database (WDCM, www.wdcm.org), (ii) have an online searchable strain catalogue of their holdings, and (iii) supply their material to the scientific user community. At present ECCO has 76 corporate members in 26 European countries. The total number of strains preserved by all ECCO collections is estimated at 500,000. ECCO meetings are held annually and hosted by one of the member collections.
