[Taxonomy, ecology, and physiological and biochemical characteristics of industrially important microorganisms].

The work is dedicated to the investigations which were carried out in the Department of Physiology of Industrial Microorganisms in the recent years. Fundamental results of investigations dedicated to development of systematics of nocardio- and coryne-like bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast; to the study of their distribution in nature, physiological-and-biochemical peculiarities. Considerable attention is paid to growth physiology of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, to lectin-forming microorganisms, to the study of fungi shaping under deep cultivation, as well as to microorganisms, taking part in the environment purification from heavy metals and oil products. Drugs created for treatment and prophylaxis of cattle diseases, for fodder siloing; new lactic acid preparations of functional direction, technological bases of sewage treatment for oil products and heavy metals are described.
