The dynamics of transport processes with the help of high-speed optical video was studied, which allows to determine characteristics of the formed gel jets and to optimize the operating mode of the laser. It is shown that laser pulses of 4 to 20 ns duration and energy E ≤ 20 μJ should be used to minimize the negative effect on living systems. The results can be used to optimize the technologies of cellular printing and laser engineering of microbial systems (LEMS). LEMS technology is used to isolate hard-cultivated and non-cultivated by classical methods of microorganisms that can act as producers of new biologically active substances and antibiotics.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Keywords: </span>laser printing, gel, microdrop, living cell, microbial</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={KnE Energy}, author={Minaev, N V and Yusupov, V I and Zhigarkov, V S and Churbanova, E S and Cheptsov, V S and Gorlenko, M V and Bagratashvili, V N}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={23–31} }
