The World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM) was established 50 years ago as the data center of the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC)-Microbial Resource Center (MIRCEN). WDCM aims to provide integrated information services using big data technology for microbial resource centers and microbiologists all over the world. Here, we provide an overview of WDCM including all of its integrated services. Culture Collections Information Worldwide (CCINFO) provides metadata information on 708 culture collections from 72 countries and regions. Global Catalogue of Microorganism (GCM) gathers strain catalogue information and provides a data retrieval, analysis, and visualization system of microbial resources. Currently, GCM includes >368 000 strains from 103 culture collections in 43 countries and regions. Analyzer of Bioresource Citation (ABC) is a data mining tool extracting strain related publications, patents, nucleotide sequences and genome information from public data sources to form a knowledge base. Reference Strain Catalogue (RSC) maintains a database of strains listed in International Standards Organization (ISO) and other international or regional standards. RSC allocates a unique identifier to strains recommended for use in diagnosis and quality control, and hence serves as a valuable cross-platform reference. WDCM provides free access to all these services at www.wdcm.org.
世界微生物数据中心（WDCM）成立于50年前，是世界培养物保藏联合会（WFCC）-微生物资源中心（MIRCEN）的数据中心。WDCM旨在利用大数据技术为世界各地的微生物资源中心和微生物学家提供综合信息服务。在此，我们概述了WDCM及其所有综合服务。《全球培养物保藏信息》（CCINFO）提供了来自72个国家和地区的708个培养物保藏机构的元数据信息。《全球微生物目录》（GCM）收集菌株目录信息，并提供微生物资源的数据检索、分析和可视化系统。目前，GCM包含来自43个国家和地区103个培养物保藏机构的超过36.8万株菌株。生物资源引用分析器（ABC）是一种数据挖掘工具，可从公共数据源中提取与菌株相关的出版物、专利、核苷酸序列和基因组信息，以形成知识库。参考菌株目录（RSC）维护着国际标准化组织（ISO）及其他国际或区域标准中所列菌株的数据库。RSC为推荐用于诊断和质量控制的菌株分配唯一标识符，因此是一个有价值的跨平台参考。WDCM在www.wdcm.org上提供所有这些服务的免费访问。
