   ANNOTATION. This anniversary note - brief report to the ex-president of the Israeli Academy of natural and humanistic sciences professor Joshua Jortner [1]and to head of biodiversity and biotechnology center of the lowest plants at Haifa university professor S.P.Wasser  [2], corresponding member of Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. The concrete role of Elizabeth Sharp and Jean P. Euzeby, H.P.R. Zeeliger and Victor B.D.Skerman in achivements of the Center is shown.

    SHORT PREHISTORY. Since 1974 [3]the problem laboratory of chair of cheese making of the Yerevan zootechnic and veterinary institute (head professor Dilanyan, member of National committee of USSR in dairy; head of microbiology sector - Sergei Ter-Kazarian, candidate of biological sciences) conducts work on introduction in USSR of results of the International nomenclature reform in bacteriology of 1973-1980.In 1988 in Moscow was registered "Bactaxon" as center of continuous correspondence retraining of bacteriologists for taxonomy, nomenclature and identification of bacteria [4], according to the social invention "creation of the center of a profile by immediate edition and distribution of materials of scientific and technical progress on methodology of natural sciences"[5].  The reference books of modern scientific names of bacteria for the Russian-speaking (1988)[6] and the English-speaking (1990)[7] bacteriologs was added with the approved names over the last 10 years. In 1994 S.Ter-Kazarian defended the doctoral dissertation in Academy  sciences of Armenia [6]. The Leningrad state university was leading organization. Professor Gromov, manager of  microbiology chair, head of the Leningrad departmend  of All-Union microbiological society, noted, that improvement of quality published in the country of articles on bacteriology substantially is connected with activity S.Ter-Kazarian [8].

     Bactaxon centre was sheltered by Israel in 1994.
 

    BACTAXON IN ISRAEL, 1994-2014

    For the appointed time the center published  dictionaries of scientic names of bacteria (2006,2008)[9-10]; a series of the brochures opening library stokes of the country concerning the books published in Israel in foreign languages including Russian (2000-2002)[11-12]; the brochure "First of all not to despont (the reporting of the bacteriologist from the province)" (2000)[13], Anthem of Russian  microbiologists (2011) [14].

    Data about biotes - main achievements of the center: Israeli bactobiota - 50 years (1948-1998)[15-16] - 400 species - from 1400 articles;  Russian biota of lactic acid bacteria - 100 years (1878-1978)[17-18] - 20 species - 50 thousand identified strains;  Armenian biota of lactic acid bacteria - 50 years (1935-1985)[19] - 16 species.

     Using experimental data of authors of articles (beside 1000)[20-21], employees counted percent positive strains on each test and reidentified them according to modern schemes. As it turnet out, in 95% cases the rightness of authentication was confirment, quite often under out-of-date synonyms. This stunning result, proving meticulousness of bacteriologists of Russia, was reported in the short performance of prof. Rosen on Eighth congress of bacteriologists (Jerusalem, 1996)[22].

    Communications with foreign scientists had crucial importance.  From extensive correspondence 50 letters of scientists were published in 2010 as "Letters to Armenian colleagues 1974-1982"[23].

    Elizabeth Sharp, professor  of National dairy research institute, England,old friend  of chair of cheese technology in Yerevan, sent the International codex of bacterial nomenclature (result: Washington, 1973 [24]), Russian edition in Yerevan, Armenia, 1974[25) and  warned about the fast edition of the eight edition of the Bergei's manual in USA.

   Dr. N.E. Gibbons, the co-editor of the eight edition of Bergey's manual,in reply in the brochure sent him with additional keys from Yerevan,responded: necessary data were in text, you wanted in order "material was chewed and swallowed?" He didn't know that keys  up do a genera inclusive was published by the Center immediately: Bergey's manual, Baltimore, USA, 1974 [26], Russian edition of keys, Yerevan, Armenia, 1975 [27].

   National committee USSR on dairy nominated of Sergei Rosen, head of Bactaxon center, in memory of the International committee of systematic of bacteria. Heads of this committees -  professor H.P.R.Zeeliger (the leaving head) and professor Victor B.D.Skerman (the new head) actively supported this promotion.[23].

   Jean Paul Euzeby,  leading of the list of approved bacterial names in Internet, was the Editor-in-Chief (professor S.P. Wasser - as member of board) of two edition of Latin-English-Russian explanatory dictionary of bacteria, published by Bactaxon center in 2001 [28] and 2003 [29].

   After disintegration of the Union All-Union microbiological society at Academy of Scientes of the USSR stopped the work in the former federal republics, and Bactaxon, besides on a voluntary basis, continued work on introduction of results of the International nomenclature reform in bacteriology of 1973-1980 in the newborn states. It was established that  national equivalents of scientific names of pathogenic bacteria are included into lexical funds of the modern languages.Work on showing up of this phenomenon in the post-Soviet states is begun. It is already shown that this indicator is higher in Russia (45 binary latinisms)[30] than in English-speaking world (27)[31]. The material and cultural status of any country is determined by degree of this phenomenon. It isn't excluded that this indicator will enter "the index of human development (JHD)".

   Twenty years' work of the  Bactaxon center  in Israel is noted by the Russian academy of natural sciences. The head of center professor Sergei Rosen is accepted as the correspondent member, he was awarded rank of honored worker of science and education, he is an owner a gold medal for an innovation in higher education.
