Laboratory of Microbiology
Head of Laboratory: Dr. Ngo Cao Cuong
Laboratory of Microbiology is a research unit under the Department of Biotechnology. The Laboratory has conducted research on the biodegradation characteristics of microorganisms to a number of materials, assemblies, and electronic components in tropical climates through a self-test program at microorganism test sites at Hoa Lac, Dam Bay, and Can Gio testing stations of the Vietnam - Russia Tropical Center. Do research to create a number of preparations for application in organic waste treatment in saltwater environment. Do research on dioxin chemical residues and their effects on ecological environment. Some technologies for treating oily wastewater use indigenous microorganisms.
MAIN RESEARCH DIRECTIONS
- Do natural testing and accelerated testing of materials, assemblies, and protective coatings under the influence of microorganisms in tropical climates to combine assessment of corrosion, aging and biological destruction.
- Do research on appropriate solutions and technologies to prevent biological destruction of materials, assemblies, equipment, etc., used in the conditions of Vietnam.
- Do research to manufacture microbial products and apply biotechnology to treat waste and organic waste in normal and saline conditions.
- Do research and extract biologically active compounds from microorganisms for high application in practical defense and civil life.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
- The laboratory includes a system of equipment for freeze-drying, fermentation, anaerobic microorganism culture, DGGE denaturation electrophoresis system, PCR gradient, accelerometer, cold centrifuge, etc. and test yard system microbiological testing at Hoa Lac, Dam Bay and Can Gio testing stations.
- Other equipment for research on microbiology, molecular biology, environment, etc.
Working in the environmental cabinet Adjusting the parameters on the fermentation system
ACHIEVEMENTS AND REWARDS
- Preside and participate in many projects and tasks at all levels (02 ministerial levels; 03 branch levels; 03 administrative committee levels; 13 grassroots level projects and a number of scientific service contracts from 2010 to present). Publish over 20 articles, including 04 international publications in the list of Scopus and ISI; 01 utility solution patent).
Some applicable topics such as:
+ Ministry of National Defense Project KCB-TS-05 in 2020 "Study on the microflora distributed in the Spratly Islands capable of treating organic wastes causing environmental pollution" under the Program KCB-TS.
+ Central level project 2019 "Improving human waste and organic waste treatment technology in accordance with actual home use conditions"; The project has been tested in Nha Trang with good results, in 2020 it will continue to be tested on Da Tay A Island in the Spratly Islands.
+ Project of the General Department of Technology 2015 "Research and manufacture anti-mold preparations Bio-AIT for long-term preservation of optical equipment"; The topic has been applied on a number of optical weapons, such as infantry binoculars, new B40 gun sights, Codensor sights on naval ships, currently Bio-AIT preparations are being applied to after-repair optical equipment after overhauling.
- A number of research products have been gradually applied in practice at the unit (Salophilic microbiological preparations BKMA organic waste treatment; anti-mold preparations Bio-AIT; microbial preparations for dry toilet treatment, etc.).
Rewards: Second Prize of the 20th Military Innovation Award.
FORM OF COOPERATION
- Contract for testing microbial resistance to materials, optical glasses, electronic components (natural and accelerated testing) under compatible standards.
- Contract for supplying scientific and technological products and services.
- Implement research cooperation and combine training in the fields of microbiology, environment, etc.
