Microbial diversity resources and their biotechnological potential
The dramatically degrading biodiversity requires a radical change in the human and nature relationship, conservation of biodiversity through the development and implementation of high technologies–biotechnologies, i.e. technologies employing living biological systems, including microorganisms–for the implementation of target processes. The subjects of intensive research are microorganisms associated with human activity and involved in restoration of ecosystems affected by this activity. In this regard, one of the priority areas of academic research at PSU is “Microbial diversity resources and their biotechnological potential”, which includes studies of the regulation mechanisms of metabolism and adaptive reactions of microorganisms in order to gain new knowledge of functional genes, their expression in extreme conditions as well as the practical use of microorganisms in biotechnology ranging from the technology of the target product production to technologies for environmental protection.
