e-Picture Lists of Pathogenic Fungi (fungi, yeasts and mushrooms) and Actinomycetes
Disclosure and Use of Images
The Medical Mycology Research Center (MMRC), Chiba University, Japan, is the only research institution in Japan in which comprehensive studies on fungal infection and pathogenic fungi are conducted. The MMRC was established in 1987 as a nation-wide collaborative organization in Japan, and it is now available to domestic and overseas research workers in this field.
In 2002, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) recognized the importance of genetic resources and started the National BioResource Project to collect, store disclose and provide bioresources. The MMRC, as a core institution in this project, is concerned with pathogenic microorganisms, i.e., protozoa, fungi and bacteria, and has developed a system for collection, storage and provision of pathogenic fungi and pathogenic actinomycetes.
Information disclosure is one of the aims of the MMRC, and as part of this we have produced the “Fungus and Actinomycete Gallery”, which contains electronic images of pathogenic fungi and actinomycetes, and shows their diversity. This gallery is available on our website, and we hope that this site will be extensively used and appreciated.
Data and images on this website can be used only for educational and research purposes, including lectures in educational and research institutions such as universities, research institutes and clinical and laboratory colleges. In addition, when using these data for education, we request that either “MMRC, Chiba University, Japan” or “Chiba Univ., Japan” should be displayed on the images, to inform users that they were produced by the MMRC, Chiba University.
No commercial use is permitted.
For further information, please contact Dr. Yaguchi (yaguchi[at]chiba-u.jp).
Publication of the Fungus and Actinomycete Gallery is supported by the National BioResource Project (NBRP) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan.
