The current state and prospects of the development of ground waters in Dagestan have been reviewed. A complex theoretical and experimental study of the mechanisms by which biologically active sub stances of geothermal waters influence yeast metabolism has served as the basis for the development of bio technologies to produce biochemically active Saccharomyces strains, bakery products, and ethanol. The application of new technology products in various industries opens up possibilities for creating high perfor mance agroindustrial enterprises in both Dagestan and other regions of Russia with geothermal resources.
