 Microorganisms isolated from National Parks in the United States are now available through the National Park Service Special Collection at ATCC. These organisms offer a fascinating study of microbial ecology, from the hot springs of Yellowstone to the deserts of Big Bend National Park. Approximately 50 bacteria,fungi, and protozoa are currently available in this Special Collection, and the list will continue to grow.
