This paper is devoted to the problems of finding new effective antimicrobials. The study of the antimicrobial properties of surfactants have been carried out at the Biotechnology and Ecology faculty NUFT. Surfactant is a substance composed of two functional parts: a polar basic hydrophilic group and a non-polar one with a hydrophobic residue. Due to this molecular structure solutions of surfactants can reduce surface and interfacial tension. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial properties of surfactants Rhodococcus erythropolis EK-1 and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus K-4. Strains R. erythropolis EK-1, and A. calcoaceticus K-4.
This paper is devoted to the problems of the influence of various scientific inventions on the life of people of the 20th and 21 th century. The manufacture of weapons of mass destruction is the real threat to the existence of human race on this planet. The main attention in the paper is devoted to the morality of science, new technologies and scientists, to the specific role of biology and medicine for the development of various areas of the society life.
