  As part of the project "Establishing a Biotechnological R&D Center for the Development and Commercialization of Agricultural Products and Technologies," significant scientific achievements have been made at QyzPU in the fields of environmental safety and biotechnology.

  The main focus of the project is the biological purification of soil and plants contaminated with heavy metals.

  During the study, the ability of Pseudomonas bacteria to remove heavy metals was thoroughly investigated, and their effectiveness in restoring ecosystems was confirmed. This scientific work brings new life to the field of environmental bioremediation.

  The research was conducted using the state-of-the-art Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM scanning electron microscope (USA), installed at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research. This equipment enabled precise determination of the quantity and distribution of metallic residues in both plants and soil. SEM technology allows for detailed examination of surface structures at a resolution of up to 3 nanometers, opening up opportunities to study the morphological and structural features of samples at the micro- and nanoscale.

  Using the EDX (Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) system integrated into the SEM, researchers were able to determine the elemental composition of the soil and plant samples. This method enables accurate assessment of contamination levels and the effectiveness of treatment with Pseudomonas bacteria.

  The results of the project contribute to the restoration of agriculturally viable land through the detoxification of ecosystems from heavy metals. The research also aims to strengthen the link between science and practice in the areas of ecology, biotechnology, and agriculture.

  Scanning electron microscopy today plays a vital role in ensuring environmental safety, protecting natural ecosystems, and supporting the development of new biomaterials and medical technologies.
