Welcome to the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center (BGSC) web site. Our primary mission is to maintain genetically characterized strains, cloning vectors, and bacteriophage for the genus Bacillus and related organisms and to distribute these materials without prejudice to qualified scientists and educators throughout the world. Since 1978, the National Science Foundation has funded the activities of the BGSC. The Department of Biochemistry in the College of Biological Sciences at The Ohio State University provides facilities and administrative support. The Director of the BGSC is Dr. Daniel R. Zeigler. For profit users may pay a $75 per culture fee or may subscribe to a yearly service plan for $1250. Academic and non-profit users are asked to make a voluntary payment of $125 per year. No academic scientist will be turned away, even if he or she lacks funds.
