Description
The ITEM Collection includes more than 13,000 strains belonging to various agro-food microorganisms with phytopathological and toxicological significance. Thousands strains belonging to toxigenic genera Aspergillus, Alternaria, Fusarium, and Penicillium, representing wide biodiversity to investigate strategies for reducing mycotoxin contamination. Also yeasts (300) and lactic bacteria (400) has been also preserved and characterized for autochthonous industrial fermentation of typical Apulian food.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 7,671 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
ITINERIS (PNRR Project IR0000032) Activity 6.5 "Mining and mapping the functional biodiversity in vivo and ex-situ research collections" - This activity is aimed to provide biodiversity (meta)data linked to Natural Science Collections (NSC) in terms of extended digital specimens fully linked to related information (e.g.. images and videos, codification of functional traits, DNA and protein sequences, environmental parameters, etc.). The expected outcome of the activity is the implementation of a national network of biological research collections, including all the existing in vivo and ex-situ collections of biological organisms (animals, plants, fungi, algae, archaea, bacteria, viruses, etc.) which have been created and maintained through past and current research projects. The full digitization of the research collections currently offline will be achieved along with the reorganization, standardization and harmonization of the data and metadata currently available in the main online collections. All the taxonomic, genetic, geographical, ecological, physiological information for each specimen will be organized in an easily searchable platform supported by web-GIS functionalities. Reference to genetic/genomic data for each specimen will allow for the identification of the most interesting material for further genetic/genomic analysis. The availability of such huge amount of information on plant, animal, and microbial genetic resources will pave the way for the dissection of the morpho-physiological and molecular mechanisms of adaptation to climate change. BioMemory (CNR-DiSBA Project No. SAC.AD002.173) is the network of biological collections of the Department of Biology, Agriculture and Food Sciences (DiSBA) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) for bio-monitoring, biodiversity conservation, agri-food and environmental sustainability, and human well-being. The project is aimed to create a network of biobanks (i.e., scientific research collections) where data and metadata associated to biological samples of different nature are collected and stored in a systematic and well-organized way. Maintaining the existing collections will allow their future use for a number of purposes, from the genetic improvement of organisms to face environmental changes (climate-ready organisms) to the fight against epidemics and pandemics affecting humans, animals and plants.
