History of the Association. It is the successor of the Belarusian Microbiological Society (BMO), founded in 1965 as a regional branch of the All-Union Microbiological Society. After the collapse of the USSR and the proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Belarus, the BMO was registered as a republican public association (registration certificate No. 0625 dated 08.02.1993). In 2005, the Association was re-registered and continued to function as the Belarusian Non-Governmental Association of Microbiologists (registration certificate No. 01770 dated 02.02.2007). According to the changes in the statute in 2024, it functions as the Public Association “Microbiological Society”.
