EURL-AR reference strains

On the list of reference strains it is registered when a strain is not avaliable for distribution from DTU Food. In such cases it is possible to send you the DNA for the use when performing PCR. Also, in case you should want to have the strain(s), and not only the boiling lysate you are welcome to contact the EURL and we can provide information regarding who can supply you with the strain(s).
