Moldova Institutes Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology
Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology
General Information
Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology of Academy of Sciences of Moldova was established in 2005, through the fusion of the following academic institutes:
- Institute of Microbiology (founded in 1992 on the basis of the Microbiology Section, that started to work in 1959 – the sole scientific institution in Moldova in the field of general and industrial microbiology);
- National Collection of Nonpathogenic Microorganisms (founded in 2003 according as a research institution main areas of which are storage, keeping and the utilization of the microbial resources);
- Scientific Centre of Patho-biology and Pathology ASM (founded in 1991 with the purpose of integration and orientation of the principal basic and applied research directions in the area of the patho-biology and clinical pathology).
Institute’s Focus
Main objectives of the IMB are focused on:
- Improvement of physiological and biochemical potential of microorganisms as the sources for products used in agriculture, food industry, preservation of the environment, medicine (hepatoprotectors, imunomodulators, antiatherosclerosis preparations);
- Scientific basis of agricultural biotechnologies for vegetal protein obtaining and the improvement of the soil fertility;
- Biotechnologies for the microorganisms potentially used for improvement of soil and water quality, biological degradation of xenobiotics;
- Microbiological preparations obtaining;
- Biotechnological methods of water, air and soil quality monitoring;
- Proceedings for optimal keeping and storage of strains microorganisms for biotechnological and scientific scopes in accordance with international standards.
Valuable Technology Offerings
- Improvement of the physiologic-biochemical potential of microorganisms as biotechnological objects;
- Development of bioactive preparations production technologies designated for usage in agriculture and medicine as well as in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries;
- Conservation and efficient utilization of the microbial resources.
Scientific Cooperation and Technology Transfer
The Institute maintains extensive international scientific contacts and collaborates with many scientific centers, such as:
- Research Center "Molecular Endocrinology and Oncology" of University Laval (Quebec, Canada);
- Neurology Center of Kislovodsk (Russia);
- Department of Molecular and Structural Biology, Max Planck Institute, Germany;
- Institutes Phthisiopneumology and Cardiology "Al.I.Cuza", University of Iasi;
- State University of Marakesh, Morocco.
