The aim of the study was to clarify the character of the initiatory activity of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms in regard to salt solutions. We selected colonies of two microorganisms: Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (St. aureus) [106 , 108 , 1010, 1012, 1014, 1016, 1018 and 1020 CFU/ml of solution]. A 10% solution of sodium chloride was used as the initiated substance, which made it possible to perform a tezigraphic test. On the basis of model experiments with colonies of some pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms, a new phenomenon was confirmed — microbial initiation of crystal formation (the phenomenon of microorganismassociated crystallogenesis). This phenomenon is universal for microagents, but it also has specific features imposed by the species of the microorganism and its current functional state.
