title: [Dynamics of research on phytopathogenic bacteria at the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine].
abstract: The basic trends of the work of the Department of Phytopathogenic Bacteria from the beginning of its existence in the system of IMV of the NAS of Ukraine (1934) have been analyzed. The stages of personnel training, the Department relations with other departments of IMV and various institutions, investigation of plant bacterioses, regularities of appearance and development of the infection process, methods of diseases control have been distinguished. Special attention was given to phytopathogenic bacteria: ecology, morphology, antigens and their structure. Poliobiotrophy, heterogeneity of pathogens population and its relation with pathogenicity have been investigated. Many-sided relations of pathogens with epiphytes and endophytes have been revealed. Bacteriophages of phytopathogenic bacteria have been studied.
