The Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus offers consumers biopreparation «PHLEBIOPIN» for limiting deleterious effect of root rot infection in pine plantations during improvement cuts and other sanitation measures under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus together with the EE «Belarusian State Technological University» has developed biopreparation «PHLEBIOPIN» for limiting deleterious effect of root rot infection in pine plantations during improvement cuts and other sanitation measures.

The based of preparation is oidiospores and mycelium fragments of basidiomycete Phlebiopsis gigantea;
(titer – not less than 3,5x10⁶ CFU/ml).

Principle of action:
Phlebiopsis gigantea (giant phlebiopsis) is a local saprotrophic basidiomycete, responsible for degradation of dead softwood. It is widely used for biological control of variegated sieve rot of roots caused by the fungus Heterobasidion annosum (root sponge).

Biopreparation diminishes the area of root rot infection in pine-trees and curbs its spread in conifers by preventing the access of pathogen to available nutrient substrate – wood of stumps and roots.

Biopreparation is not phytotoxic and not hazardous to humans, animals, fowl, fish, beneficial insects.

Application guidelines:

	Disease	Dosage	Treatment	Number of treatments
Pine plantations	Root rots	10 ml of preparation + 10 l of water / 15 m2 of stump surface	The preparation is diluted prior to treatment. Pine cutting is followed by stump treatment immediately or within 1 week thereafter. The biocontrol agent is applied with sprayer or brush to attain uniform coloring of stumps	1

Package:
Plastic containers of 1 l volume.

Terms of storage:
6 months since fabrication date within temperature range +4 to +6 °C in shady place.

Application area: forestry.

— Development of microbial biotechnologies for industry, agriculture, medicine, and environmental protection.

Key objectives:
— Ensuring the preservation and operation of the Belarusian Collection of Non-Pathogenic Microorganisms (designated as a National Heritage Asset, No. 5), which is registered with the World Federation for Culture Collections (acronym: BIM; collection number: 909). Expanding the collection and the DNA bank of industrially valuable microorganisms.
— Phenotypic and molecular-genetic identification of microorganisms; selection and genetic engineering of strains that produce biologically active compounds.
— Elucidating the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis of enzymes and low-molecular-weight metabolites. Developing production technologies and pilot-scale manufacturing of enzyme preparations for the chemo-enzymatic synthesis of pharmaceutical substances, the production of diagnostic agents, and applications in the food industry and waste processing.
— Developing and implementing technologies for the production of microbial preparations for agriculture and forestry, including biological plant protection agents, microbial fertilizers, bio-preservatives, feed additives, and probiotics.
— Creating environmental biotechnologies and preparations for the remediation of natural and industrial environments contaminated with xenobiotics or petroleum-based pollutants.
— Establishing biotechnological platforms for the production of vaccines. — Development of biotechnologies for the microbial conversion of plant-based raw materials and the production of high-quality animal feed.
— Pilot-scale industrial production of environmentally safe biological preparations for various applications.
