NOAA’s Barrow Observatory conducts research on greenhouse gases, aerosols, surface radiation and stratospheric ozone.
DSMZ
The Leibniz Institute DSMZ provides microorganisms and cell cultures for research and industry, with research spanning microbial and cell biodiversity.
About DSMZ
The Leibniz Institute DSMZ is the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures. Its website presents the institute's catalogue of biological materials, including bacteria, archaea, fungi and yeasts, plant viruses, bacteriophages, plasmids, and human and animal cell lines. It also lists laboratory services such as identification, characterization, specific analyses and diagnostics, and it offers an online shop for researchers in academia and industry. The homepage states that about 100 scientists at the institute work on biodiversity in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The homepage describes bioresources and laboratory services. It does not describe climate or environmental datasets, so visitors looking for environmental data should check whether the material matches their needs.
Key features

DSMZ FAQ
What types of biological material are listed on the site?
The homepage lists bacteria, archaea, plant viruses, human and animal cell lines, plasmids, fungi and yeasts, bacteriophages, and cyanobacteria and protists.
How can human cell lines be authenticated?
The site states that STR profiling is used for authentication of human cell line samples, because STR microsatellites are stable and highly polymorphic in human populations.
