Spanish term or phrase: "Obtención y mejora de cepas microbianas"
Module name for a Biotechnology degree. No more context available. Another module for an engineering degree in "Materiales" has the expression "obtención de materiales". After not finding much, Isearched bilingual Canadian sites for "obtention de matériels" and they used "procurement", which seems to be good, so that is probably an option here. The main problem is the "cepa". I get nothing for "microbial stump". Could it mean something else?

agree  Elena Sgarbo (X): Yes, perhaps "BACTERIAL stock". "Strain" is another translation for "cepa" but for a different context. Saludos, Mike :-)

agree  John Speese: sounds good, but I'd just stick with microbial...it probably is mostly bacteria, but there are fungi and other organisms that can be considered microbes.
