Peculiarities of the collection: Hydrocarbon-oxidizing actinobacteria (>3,000) from various regions of the Russian Federation (Volga, Ural, Siberian, Far Eastern, etc.) and from other countries (Belarus, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Ukraine) as well as from Antarctica and Arctic.
Producers of amino acids, enzymes and biosurfactants; degraders of persistent organic pollutants. Used in the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-, heavy metal salts- and pharmaceutical-contaminated ecosystems in cold environments and in the production of bioactive compounds.
Partial catalogue information in the Global Catalogue of Microorganisms (http://gcm.wfcc.info). |
