Gene resource of industrially important microbial culture collection for agriculture biologization [Articol]

Abstract

The article is dedicated to describing the gene resource of Industrially Important Microbial Culture Collection for Agriculture Biologization of Engineering and Technological Institute "Biotekhnika" of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, which holds the status of the Ukrainian National Asset. The Collection includes known industrial microbial strains with antagonistic, entomocidal, rodenticidal, nematocidal, and cellulosolytic properties. There are natural isolates that can transform insoluble phosphorus and ones are phytohormones producers in the Collection. The Collection can serve as a ground of experience exchange for scientists and specialists working in the field of plant protection, as well as for educating students’ biologists, biotechnologists, and agronomists.
