About the Department
The Department of Microbiology of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv was founded in 1936 by Napoleon Gonsiorowskyi. The department has a Microbiological Circle, which unites members of the Student Scientific Society, and a Microbiological Circle of the Small Academy of Sciences. The main directions of scientific work of the department are: Monitoring the content of xenobiotics for the use of microorganisms; Research of adaptations of microorganisms that convert sulfur compounds in nature to the influence of chemical pollutants as stressors; Development of methods for purification of contaminated media from pollutants of organic and inorganic nature with the participation of microorganisms; Research of exoelectrogenic processes in prokaryotes and work with microbial fuel cells; Research of microbiocenoses of waste heaps of coal mines and reservoirs of ecologically dangerous areas; Investigation of physiological and biochemical properties of microorganisms isolated from various substrates of Antarctica.
