Info of Culture (Bacteria) manufacturers needed

[fthnm2005]

Hello Scientists:

 

I was fishing on internet for companies who sell bacteria cultures (5-6 different strains) for our experiments, butr no luck!

 

Our experiments include detection of spore forming cultures based on biomarker called dipicolinic acid (DPA) using mass spectrometry. We need 3 different strains of Bacillus and Clustridium species, which from endospores and contain DPA, and as well as 3 different strains of bacteria which do not form spores.

 

If anybody has purchased such cultures from any company, would you PLEASE provide theit contact information, or at least the name of thet company?

 

thank you very much in advance!
