This Local Contexts project encompasses all living cultures housed in the International Collection of Microorganisms from Plants (ICMP) that have been collected from around the world.
ICMP contains over 22,000 cultures of living Fungi, Bacteria, and Chromist. These are predominantly isolated from plants, insects, soil, and water that have been collected from natural and managed environments around the world. The collection also contains important reference and 'type' cultures of the world's plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Cultures are permanently stored frozen in liquid nitrogen.
The collection is housed at Manaaki Whenua in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland. The primary collection data for the cultures is fully digitised to improve the accessibility of these records. Through the addition of new cultures the data made digitally accessible is increasing. In addition, the data are also being updated through scientific research (e.g., as cultures are re-identified) and curatorial activity on the data and cultures.

The BC (Biocultural) Notice is a visible notification that there are accompanying cultural rights and responsibilities that need further attention for any future sharing and use of this material or data. The BC Notice recognizes the rights of Indigenous Peoples to permission the use of information, collections, data and digital sequence information (DSI) generated from the biodiversity or genetic resources associated with traditional lands, waters, and territories. The BC Notice may indicate that BC Labels are in development and their implementation is being negotiated.
