RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The Obtaining Highly-Efficient Strains of Microorganisms
for the Production of Biological Petroleum Degrading
Compounds, Organophosphate Substances, Plant
Protection Means, and Exopolysaccharides used in the
Petroleum Industry (Bioekologiya) investigations have 2
goals. The goal of Bioekologiya-M is to obtain strains of
high performance microorganisms for production of
growth-promoting hormones. The goal of Bioekologiya-R
is to obtain high performance strains of microorganisms
for the production of components of oil biodegradation.EARTH BENEFITS
The aim of the Bioekologiya is to obtain highly efficient
strains of microorganisms to be used in Russian domestic
industry for the production of growth hormone and
biological petroleum degrading compounds.RESULTS
The biological compound Mitsefit was created for use to
stimulate plant growth and development and to enhance
its reproductive potential based on the new highly active
strains of endophytic fungi obtained in the space
experiment.The compound Rodart was created to decontaminate soil
and bodies of water from petroleum pollution when the concentration is up to 20%. Rodart
contains new highly active bacterial strains that were obtained in the space experiment.
