Brief description, advantages, further prospects for application.

Valuable information about the composition and biotechnological potential of microorganisms in the Black Sea region of the World Ocean has been obtained. For the first time, the assessment of the state of the prokaryotic microbiota of the Black Sea waters and the microbiota associated with hydrobionts was carried out, and it was confirmed that the evolution of the microbiota proceeds directly and in close connection with the evolution of the habitat. A working hypothesis was confirmed that the Black Sea is the only known source of Lactobacillus isolation from sponges, and the resulting isolates showed a fairly powerful antimicrobial potential and biotechnological potential. Lactobacillus strains were resistant to antibiotics and could be used as a base to create a bacterial consortium with potent antibacterial and probiotic properties.

A new consortium of microorganisms has been obtained for use as a food additive for mariculture grown under closed conditions. Technological regulations for the fermentation of algae of the genus Ulva using lactic cocci Pediococcus pentosaceus have been developed.

The conducted studies make it possible to determine the components and sensitivity of the microbial community to the anthropogenic load, to investigate the distribution and change in the quantitative content of different sections of the Bacteria domain depending on the anthropogenic load, and to serve as the basis for the development of practical recommendations for the organization of mussel and oyster farms in the Ukrainian part of the Black Sea. Developed recommendations and proposals for choosing the location of the marine farm and water quality.
