[A research into the possibility of biological control over technophilic microorganisms using KSAP-U, a military device for biological reconnaissance].

The paper is dedicated to the detection of technophilic microorganisms, able to affect fuels, lubricants, and construction materials. The study demonstrated that indicator paper used in KSAP-U, a biological reconnaissance device, was able to detect technophilic test microorganisms in samples of rubber, turbonit, and the water phase of the "fuel-medium" system even when the degree of material affection was minimal. The authors suggest the practical application of these means for the express indication of technophilic microorganisms in technical objects.
