Head of the Branch

Specialist in the development of biotechnological and chemical drugs, biologically active substances, biotechnological plant protection products and biological products for cleaning oil-contaminated soils.

Awarded the first prize named after D.A. Kunaev of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan for young scientists (2010).

Research directions

  • Isolation and replenishment of the collection of microorganisms with probiotic properties;
  • Isolation and replenishment of the collection of production strains for the creation of biofertilizers;
  • Isolation and replenishment of the collection of microorganisms for bioremediation of anthropogenically disturbed soils in Kazakhstan;
  • Development of technology for fermentation, concentration, lyophilization of microorganisms;
  • Creation of a seed bank of rare and endangered species of flora of Kazakhstan, including endemic medicinal plants.

Results

  • A mesophilic wheat starter, a starter for acidophilus, as well as enzyme preparations: “Protosubtilin”, “Glucavomarin”, “Amilosubtilin” have been developed for use in the food industry (production of bakery products, beer production).
  • Vaccines have been developed against sheeppox, tuberculosis, listeriosis, bradzot, infectious enerotoxemia, malignant edema of sheep and dysentery of lambs, pasteurellosis, anthrax, rabies, emphysematous carbuncle of animals.
  • The probiotic preparation “Bifidumbacterin”, dietary supplements “Dimicil” and “Biolact” were developed for enriched functional human nutrition and their registration tests were carried out in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
  • Biological fertilizers “Nitragin” and “Multifunctional activator of soil fertility based on nitrogen-fixing bacteria”, insecticidal preparations: “Biomicol”, “BioKenBid”, “Biolarvitsid”, “Bioturin”, “Bioprogest”, “Biocomarin” have been developed.

 

Services
