The network bioresource collection in the field of genetic technologies for agriculture was created on November 30, 2021 by converting the Departmental Collection of useful microorganisms for agricultural purposes of the Federal State Budgetary Budgetary Institution ARRIAM with the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Agreement No. 075-15-2021-1055 dated 09/28/2021). The collection unites practically valuable strains of 14 institutes of the Department of Agricultural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has more than 20 thousand. It is registered in the WDCM database and uses international operational standards in its work.

The main purpose of the collection is to accumulate, reliably preserve and study the genetic resources of agricultural microorganisms of the Russian Federation, aimed at creating a state–of-the-art research complex with a network principle of organization, including robotic cryopreservation, large-scale genetic research, as well as a single computer database.

The achievement of these goals is carried out on the basis of the organization of long-term storage of microorganisms using the cryopreservation method. To maintain cultures in a cryopreserved state, a unique installation "Low-temperature automated storage station for biological samples at -80oC" (Liconic Instruments) is used. The principal advantages of the storage are the long-term and maximum quality preservation of microbiological material due to a consistently low storage temperature, as well as providing authorized access to commercial strains using computer keys. A unified online database of genetic resources of agricultural microorganisms of the Russian Federation, working "in real time", has been organized for a wide range of users.

The scientific activity of the collection is ensured through interaction with the Centers for Collective Use at the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution ARRIAM and the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of St. Petersburg State University, which provides the opportunity to conduct research on the genetic resources of microorganisms at the most modern level.
