FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the production of chemical elements and their isotopes by the use of microorganisms. Method for obtaining chemical elements and their isotopes, including super-heavy transuranic elements, involves treatment with an aqueous suspension of bacteria of the genus Thiobacillus, adapted with a radioactive agent, raw materials containing natural chemical elements and their natural isotopes, to obtain the desired product. In this case, a hydrolyzate of organic bottom river sediments consisting of mollusks, mud, algae and fish remains, which are natural adsorbents of radionuclides and possessing an elevated level of radiation, are used as the radioactive agent, and as raw materials use chemical elements, both natural and artificially obtained.
EFFECT: invention allows to expand the range of the obtained elements and isotopes.
