title: [The history and the present of the Department of Biology of Extremophilous Microorganisms].
abstract: The priority results obtained during 35 years, when studying biology of methane-oxidizing bacteria, are presented. There is more profound representation of the results obtained for the recent 5 years of the Department activity: phylogenetic classification of methylotrophic bacteria, biodiversity of microorganisms in the typical biotopes of the Antarctica, resistance of extremophilous Antarctical microorganisms to heavy metals, etc. A method of thermodynamic prediction of the microorganisms interaction with xenobiotics (synthetic organic compounds, toxical metals and radionuclides) has been developed for creating new universal nature-protective biotechnologies. Optimal methods of xenobiotics detoxication have been realized. The ways of intensification of biosynthesis of exopolysaccharide and surfactants have been found.
