FBCC accepts algae, bacteria, and fungi that are valuable for research, industry, and education in fields such as taxonomy, genetics, biochemistry, and medicine. The deposited cultures are preserved at the FBCC, and both the depositors and researchers can obtain the deposited bioresources for research purposes.
