Project ID No: 1164

THE DEVELOPMENT AND INTRODUCTION OF NEW NATURE PROTECTING BIOTECHNOLOGIES IN ANTARCTICA

The purposes of the project: - Optimization of a construction (plant) for fermentation of solid food wastes with the purpose of increasing efficiency of its work (increase of compactness, increase mass exchanging in the fermenters); - Selection and the further optimization of regulators of a microbial metabolism.
The project assumes getting of the new actual data about function of purification technologies in extreme conditions of Antarctic Region, optimization of work of technology for maximum effective recycling solid vegetable waste products, decrease of anthropogenic influence in Antarctica in area of research stations, an opportunity of introduction of technologies of utilization of solid food waste products at stations of other countries under condition of individual cooperation of the interested sides.
