BacDive (The Bacterial Diversity Database) is the worldwide largest database for standardized bacterial and archaeal strain-level information.

Introduction

[edit]

BacDive is a comprehensive resource containing diverse data on bacterial and archaeal strains, including taxonomy, morphology, physiology, sampling and environmental data and sequence information.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The database is built on a base of curated data from culture collections. In 2024 BacDive contains information on 97,334 strains, including 20,060 type strains.[9] The database is hosted by the Leibniz Institute DSMZ - German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH and is part of the integrated DSMZ Digital Diversity infrastructure. The database is a member of de.NBI - the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure, as well as ELIXIR. The Global Biodata Coalition designated BacDive a Global Core Biodata Resource (GCBR) in 2022.[10] In 2023, BacDive was additionally named as an ELIXIR Core Data Resource.[11]

Content and Features

[edit]

Database

[edit]

The December release of the database encompassed over 1000 different data fields, divided into the categories "Name and taxonomic classification", "Morphology", "Culture and growth conditions,"Physiology and metabolism", "Isolation, sampling and environmental information." "Safety information", "Sequence information" and "Strain availability". The database comprised 1,922,166 entries, linked to the according strain and reference.[12] The data are retrieved from internal descriptions of culture collections, expert-compiled compendia and primary scientific literature like species descriptions.

Data access

[edit]

Data can be accessed either via a GUI or via the RESTful web service. Using the GUI the user can choose between a simple search for searching strains by name, Culture collection number, NCBI Tax ID or INSDC sequence accession number, or the user can use the advanced search, which enables the search in 130 data fields and gives the opportunity of complex queries by combining several fields. Data can be downloaded in PDF format (for single strains) or in CSV format for larger data sets (for multiple strains). Via the RESTful web service portal BacDive content can be accessed automatically (a free registration is needed).To support the use of the API, software clients in Python and R are available.

Other databases

[edit]

For data that are outside the focus of BacDive, links to other databases are provided that deliver strain-associated data:
