Text of the Notification of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, dated November 20, 1991, Relating to the International Mycological Institute (IMI) (formerly the "Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau (CAB), International Mycological Institute")

NOTIFICATION

I have the honour to refer to the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, opened for signature at Budapest from 28 April to 31 December 1977, and to the communication of 31 March 1983 from the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland nominating the International Mycological Institute (IMI), formerly the CAB International Mycological Institute, as an International Depositary Authority under the Treaty.

In accordance with rule 3.3 of the Regulations under the Treaty, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland hereby notify you of the following extensions to and clarification of the list of organisms that the IMI will accept for deposit under the Budapest Treaty.

"Fungal isolates (including yeasts) and bacteria (including actinomycetes), other than known human and animal pathogens, that can be preserved without significant change to their properties by methods of preservation in use."

Organisms up to and including ACDP Category 2* deposits are accepted by the Collection. (* Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens Categorisation of pathogens according to hazard and categories of containment, HMSO, London, 1990.)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the IMI reserves the right to refuse to accept any material for deposit which in the opinion of the Curator presents an unacceptable risk or is technically unsuitable to handle. The IMI will accept organisms which do not significantly change after long term nitrogen freezing or freeze-drying. A statement regarding potential pathogenicity and storage conditions is required when a deposit is made.

The fees for a deposit remain unchanged.
