| Field | Field label | Contents |
| Collection number | Collection_number | Number of the element in the collection under which it is distributed |
| Name | Name | Name of the element |
| Other culture collection numbers(*)(**) | Other_culture_collection_numbers | Numbers of the element under which it is distributed by other culture collections |
| Type | Type | Element type |
| Class | Class | Origin of the element: non-recombinant or recombinant |
| Literature(**) | Literature | Original publication in which the element is described. |
| History of deposit(**) | History_of_deposit | History of the element from author to depositor, in reverse chronology (depositor < ... < author) |
| Restricted distribution | Restricted_distribution | Restrictions for distribution of the element (hazard group, “for research purposes only”, patent info, import/export regulations, etc...). |
| Host for distribution | Host_for_distribution | Taxonomic designation and strain designation of the host organism in which the element is distributed. |
| Medium | Medium | Name or collection number of the medium on which the host organism is preferably grown. |
| Selectable phenotype | Selectable_phenotype | Feature encoded by the element enforcing its host strain to maintain the element in order to survive under appropriate cultivation conditions. |
| Replicon(**) | Replicon | Names of replicon elements. |
| Host range(**) | Host_range | Hosts in which the element can be propagated and/or used and, when applicable, the peculiar features that are necessary for making use of the special characteristics of the element. |
| Properties and applications | Properties_and_applications | Description of the properties of the element, as well as its application possibilities. |
(*) If the content of the field 'Other culture collection numbers' cannot automatically be generated at the main site it will be removed from the MDS for plasmids.
