BacDiveR: client for the DSMZ's Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase

This R package provides a programmatic interface for the Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase (Söhngen et al. 2014 & 2016 ) of the DSMZ (German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures). BacDiveR helps you to conduct your microbial research better and faster, by:

• downloading the BacDive datasets you want to investigate off-line, and by

• providing you with a way to document and report your searches and downloads in a reproducible manner (.R scripts, .Rmd files, etc.).
