MICROMYCETES IN THE CONNECTION WITH PROBLEMS OF BIOLOGICAL SAFETY
The present study describes the problems of biosecurity and biosafety deal with the pathogenic fungi. The characteristics of different categories of pathogenicity and biosafety levels and taxonomic diversity of pathogenic fungi are represented for the official documents of 11 countries. Data about the collections of the microorganisms of the World Federation for Culture Collection (WFCC), which support the cultures of pathogenic fungi, are included. This paper also presents the results of fungal diversity analyses, which included in All-Russian collection (VKM) database that contains near 25000 fungal species from culture collections around the world - FungalDC (www.vkm.ru <http://www.vkm.ru>).
