BGSC - Order

Strains

The BGSC order form must be used to place orders. We cannot process orders sent via email.

We have transitioned to a credit-card-only payment format. We no longer accept purchase orders, checks, or wire payments. Upon submission of your order via the BGSC order form, we will develop a quote and send to you. The quote will include the link to the BGSC credit card portal. Once payment is confirmed, your strains will be shipped. Prices based on customer type and location are as follows:

Strains and Plasmids

Academic, government agencies, and non-profit organizations

Domestic: $65 each plus $20 shipping/handling (added to entire order, not per strain)
International: $65 each plus $70 shipping/handling (added to entire order, not per strain)

For-profit/Industry

Domestic: $250 each plus $20 shipping/handling (added to entire order, not per strain)
International: $250 plus $70 shipping/handling (added to entire order, not per strain)

Please remember to enter the strain ID(s) or subscription type in the “Strain Request” field. Please send inquiries to: asc-microbioservice@osu.edu

Disclaimer: As part of the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center’s (BGSC’s) strong commitment to its customers, every effort is made to deliver high-quality stocks from its expansive repository of over 10,000 stocks. While the BGSC staff exercises due diligence to verify the authenticity of each stock, we cannot provide warranties regarding the availability, validity, or usefulness of any materials. Our pledge is to distribute the stock precisely as received from our vast community of BGSC donors.

Genomic DNA Purification

The Bacillus Genetic Stock Center is pleased to offer high molecular weight, highly purified genomic DNA at a very reasonable price. We can supply genomic DNA from any strain in our collection, or from a strain that you provide. We routinely use our genomic DNA for a variety of downstream applications: PCR amplification, direct genomic DNA sequencing, and restriction enzyme mediated cloning. We also offer an inexpensive, partially purified grade of genomic DNA that works quite well as a PCR template in our hands. Note: Due to the cost of refrigerated shipping, we are currently offering this service only to customers within the United States and Canada.

Price Schedule:

Service	Quantity	price
Genomic DNA, template grade	0.5 ml	$165
Genomic DNA, column purified	50-100 µg	$189
Shipping	per package	$45 to USA; $55 to Canada

16S rDNA Sequence Determination

The BGSC also has considerable expertise in 16S rDNA Sequence Determination. If you send us a strain (or specify a strain in our collection), we will provide you with the specified 16S rDNA sequence, together with electropherograms and sequence reads for each individual primer used and a taxonomic identification for the strain. Please contact Dan Zeigler at +1-614-292-5550 to discuss your project before submitting any strains for sequence determination.

Price Schedule:

Sequence Returned	1-9	10-19	20-39	>40
First ~500 bp	$110	$100	$95	$80
First ~1000 bp	$150	$120	$110	$100
Full length	$230	$190	$175	$160

Other Requirements

We can provide genomic DNA or 16S rDNA sequence from any strain in our collection. We can also provide these same services for any culture you would send us that meets the following criteria

The strain must fall within one of two families, the Bacillaceae or the Paenibacillaceae. These families include dozens different genera and hundreds of species with official standing in the nomenclature. For a listing, please consult: the NCBI taxonomy browser. Any gram-positive endospore-forming isolate that can grow aerobically is assumed to qualify.
The strain must be a biosafety level 1 organism. No known pathogen, etiologic agent, or otherwise hazardous organism will be accepted. Bacillus anthracis is absolutely excluded.
The strain must be culturable under aerobic conditions using readily available biological growth medium components. You will need to inform us up front about any unusual temperature, pH, osmotic, or nutrient requirements.
