SAMBO: MGP's biobank for the storage and management of feces and DNA samples.

UBOCC: Bacteria, archaea, yeasts and molds from diverse environments such as deep-sea and coastal marine environments (hydrothermal springs, deep-sea sediments, bivalve pathogens) and agricultural and agrifood ecosystems (agrifood companies, field flora, environments contaminated by hydrocarbons or plastics).
