search for strain collections

[Dmitry A. Los]

Dear netters,

Is it possible to get the information (through Gopher, ftp, etc.) about 
bacterial strains deposited to some collections? Is there any
E-mail service by which I can access the catalogues? 

Please, respond to the E-mail address below.
Thank you,
