IX - Plasmids and transposons
Deposit
The deposit of a plasmid or transposon must be accompanied by a completed "deposit of plasmids or transposons form" indicating the culture conditions.
The deposit of a plasmid or transposon in the CIP is free. The CIP reserves the right to accept or to refuse the deposition of plasmids or transposons. All demand for a deposit of a plasmid or transposon in the CIP must be formulated in writing, enclosing the publication to be submitted to enable the CIP to carry out the necessary controls.

Quality control
Plasmids and transposons are stored in a bacterial host. The strains are frozen. Their viability and purity are checked and chromosomal and plasmid markers are tested before delivery.
Distribution
Read the paragraph "ordering procedure" from the section "Distribution bacteria strains”.
The distribution of some plasmids is restricted. You need to contact the CRBIP directly to obtain the list of these plasmids and to order them.
Culture of strains containing a plasmid
The strains are delivered frozen on slant. Following its delivery, the strain should be cultured on non-selective medium and on an appropriate selective medium.
