About Us

The department studies the functioning and correction of the microbiome of the phytosphere to enhance plant stress resistance under various agricultural technologies. It investigates the synthesis of bioactive metabolites by streptomycetes, which act as antagonists of phytopathogens and nematodes, developing the foundations for biotechnological phytoprotection products. The department examines the regulation of microbial metabolite synthesis and creates technologies for their complex production. It also works on microbial degradation of pesticides, oil contamination, and heavy metals for environmental protection technologies. Additionally, it conducts genetic monitoring of technogenic soils, developing PCR test systems and innovative biopreparations to increase plant productivity and protection.
