Dust of the two Tillandsia species were predominant among dust types found on the honey bees. Examples of B. atratus, B. morio and T. spinipes, found on the blossoms of T. stricta, introduced 100% dust from that plant. Bombus atratus examples visiting T. tenuifolia, introduced 90% dust from that source and 10% from Mimosa pudica, accordingly uncovering the upward scavenging conduct of this honey bee species. Honey bees that visit T. tenuifolia e T. stricta on their blossoming are likely dispersers of their dust.

We analyzed 11 samples of wastewater, sludge and soil contaminated with acrylic acid nitrile, acrylamide and acrylic acid from the territory of Navoiyazot JSC (Navoi, Uzbekistan). As a result, 19 strains belonging to the bacteria of the genus Rhodococcus were isolated into a pure culture. In the process of selection, 2 strains of bacteria were selected that exhibit the highest amidase activity for acrylic acid (0.712 U / mg and 0.868 U / mg). Strains of  Rhodococcus sp. - 8/4/1 and Rhodococcus sp. - 3/4/3 are potential amidase producers.
