By ordering materials from the FGSC, you are agreeing to cite the FGSC in any publications describing work with those materials.

The FGSC depends on acknowledgements to demonstrate the value of the materials in the collection.

Examples of how you might acknowledge the  FGSC follow.

To acknowledge a plasmid:

    "The plasmid pMF272 (Freitag et al., 2004) was obtained from the FGSC"
or
    "The sGFP gene from the plasmid pMT-sGFP (Toews et al, 2004, obtained from the FGSC) was excised by cutting with EcoRI and KpnI"

To acknowledge a strain:

    "Strain 4306 (obtained from the FGSC) was prepared by ....

or

    "Strain XY123, carrying the un-16 gene from FGSC 4306 was grown in a 20 L bioreactor..."

or
