Main Research Areas:

  • Radiation and chemical mutagenesis in actinomyces culturing
  • Primary metabolism and antibiotic production
  • Spontaneous and mutation variability of strain producers
  • Selection of industrial producers of antibiotics

Major Achievements:

  • Development of selection approaches to obtain the super-producers of antibiotics
  • Development of the methodology of regulation of the antibiotic production using antimetabolites
  • Development of industrial producers of antibacterial (ristomycin, linkomycin, apramycin, tobramycin, heliomycin, eremomycin) and antitumor (daunorubycin, carminomycin, bleomycin, olivomycin, bruneomycin) antibiotics
  • Development of veterinary antibiotics (apramycin, heliomycin, ristomycin)
  • Discovery of new antibacterial antibiotics, e.g. 3,-deoxykanamycin C and lipoglicopeptide ( INA 5812)
  • Active producers of antibacterial (demethylvancomycin) and antifungal (irumamycin) antibiotics
