This paper presents interconnections between catalogs of microbial culture collections and biological databases inspected. Microbial Biological Resources Centers (mBRCs) provide Life Science (LS) and biotechnology with fit-for-use microbiological resources and related data of consistent quality. To optimize the services, facilitate cumulative research, make crosschecks, and avoid duplication of efforts, must ensure that the databases developed and maintained are interconnected with mBRC data. This research shows that, at present, connections are minimal. It proposes ways to plug the mBRC databases into the Life Science community. Such connections could open dialogue by making the mBRC data visible and accessible from the Life Science databases, and reciprocally making the Life Science database records visible and accessible from the mBRC-aggregated catalog. For this purpose, we inspected most of the databases discovered on the Internet. Each database was characterized by name, acronym, year of the last correction, uniform resource location (URL), area of practical use (health system, agriculture, etc.), presence of microbial data and database producer. The databases with microbial data were inspected in more detail in terms of the lists of the partner databases, the lists of ontologies used, the access format from computer programs, and database subjects. Our new metabase has collected 2667 Life Science databases, from which 1123 databases have microbial data.
