History

The laboratory was organized in 1955 as a laboratory of variability of microorganisms. In 1963, the laboratory was named the Department of Genetics of Microorganisms, which was renamed the laboratory again in 2020. The scientific head of the department from 1955 to 1965 was Doctor of Science, Prof. P.E. Vizier, and from 1965 to the present time - member-cor. NAS of Ukraine B.P. Matseliukh.

Scientific work

Important results of fundamental research

  • Genetic transformation of streptomycetes with the help of DNA, as well as fusion and regeneration of protoplasts was carried out;
  •      A circular genetic map of Streptomyces olivaceus VKX was constructed;
  •      Bidirectional replication of the chromosome of streptomycetes is established;
  •      Streptomycete plasmids pSG1812-1 and pSG1912-2 were studied, and the vector molecule pSG1912-3 was constructed;
  •      The chemical structure of the new antitumor antibiotic landomycin E was established and the molecular mechanism of its action was revealed;
  •      The chemical structure of the antibiotic biosynthesis regulator of streptomycetes N-methylphenylalanyl-dehydrobutyrin diketopiperazine was established;
  •      The genomes of Streptomyces globisporus 1912-2 and 1912-4Crt strains were sequenced and registered in the international GenBank database (GWFA00000000.1), and the complete sequences of gene bundles for the biosynthesis of landomycin E and beta-carotene are registered under accession numbers KJ645792, KJ701191 and KM349312.

Implementation of the results of applied research in industry

  • A highly active mutant of Streptomyces aureofaciens 019(8)-producer of the fodder antibiotic Biovit (chlortetracycline and cyanocobalamin) was obtained, protected by a copyright certificate and put into production at seven factories in Ukraine;
  • Highly active slimeless mutants of Bacillus polymyxa BS 153 and BS153-29 were obtained - producers of the antibiotic polymyxin B, protected by copyright certificates of the USSR and put into production at the Kyiv Pharmaceutical Factory;
  • Highly active Blakeslea trispora K1 and K2 mutants were obtained - producers of beta-carotene, protected by copyright certificates of the USSR and a patent of Ukraine and put into production at the Verkhnyodniprovsk starch-molasses plant;
  • Strains of producers of polymyxin B and beta-carotene were sold to foreign companies in the form of license agreements.
