'BacDive (The Bacterial Diversity Database') is the worldwide largest database for standardized bacterial and archaeal strain-level information.
BacDive is a comprehensive resource containing diverse data on bacterial and archaeal strains, including taxonomy, morphology, physiology, sampling and environmental data and sequence information. The database is built on a base of curated data from culture collections. In 2025 BacDive contains information on 99,392 strains, including 21,168 type strains. The database is hosted by the Leibniz Institute DSMZ - German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH and is part of the integrated DSMZ Digital Diversity infrastructure. BacDive is a member of de.NBI - the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure, as well as ELIXIR. The Global Biodata Coalition designated BacDive a Global Core Biodata Resource (GCBR) in 2022. In 2023, BacDive was additionally named as an ELIXIR Core Data Resource.
