摘要
In addition to storing microbes, culture collections in industry, government or universities manage a vast and continuously expanding Library of information on strain history and properties. An efficient and cost-effective computer database system is required for entering, analyzing and searching these data. This report describes the utility and features of a comprehensive database which consists of a commercially available relational database system combined with customized screens for data entry, viewing and report generation. The application was developed using Microsoft access and Visual Basic to operate in the Windows environment on a local area network.
