International Workshop on ASEAN Microbial Database and Analysis Tools

| Sep 15, 2021 | |

The International Workshop on ASEAN Microbial Database and Analysis Tools has been successfully held online today. The workshop aims to promote successful management and analysis of microbial database for effective utilization of microorganisms. The quality of management of microbial culture collection and the participation in creating a global database can thus be improved.  It also facilitates opportunities for database integration among institutions in ASEAN. In particular, AmiBase provides a service hub and standardized protocol for sharing microbial diversities data. Trainers for the workshop include AnMicro Training Team from the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) Thailand, Dr. Ni’matuzahroh from the University of CoE – Research Center for Bio-Molecule Engineering (BIOME) Indonesia, and Dr. Atit Kanti University of CoE – Research Center for Bio-Molecule Engineering (BIOME) Insonesia. The event was co-organized by ASEAN Network of Microbial Utilization (AnMicro) and University of CoE – Research Center for Bio-Molecule Engineering (BIOME), Universitas Airlangga. The conference is arranged in Collaboration with Indonesian Culture Collection (InaCC), Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) as an institution that handles the management culture collections in Indonesia, and Thailand Bioresource Research Center (TBRC) Thailand as the founder of ASEAN Microbial Database (AmiBase).  ...

This opportune event came with the celebration of 20th Anniversary of Mycological Society of Philippines (MSP) and the 6th Annual AnMicro Meeting. The main topic of this year’s Annual AnMicro Meeting was the ASEAN Center on Microbial Utilisation (AMUST), which is a culmination of 5-year-long effort since the establishment of AnMicro in 2014. AMUST aims to provide the solid infrastructure for fostering joint research and innovation, not only to AnMicro members, but also to all ASEAN researchers. This year meeting also saw the warm welcome of new AnMicro members from Cambodia and Indonesia; Bogor Agricultural University (Indonesia), Indonesian Culture Collection (Indonesia), Universitas Negeri Jakarta (Indonesia), and Faculty of Science and Technology, International University (Cambodia). Moreover, TBRC team helped organize “iCollect workshop”, which was one of the 4 workshop modules. The iCollect workshop conveyed a practical knowledge how to deal with microbial collection data. Other three workshops were Mycorrhiza, Mushroom Cultivation, and Rapid Composting. In total, there were 89 registered participants from 6 ASEAN countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and...
