Abstract

Microbial communities of the thermal alkaline spring Seya (the Barguzin valley, North Pri-Baikalia) are investigated. Physicohcemical parameters of the medium, species and structural-functional composition of microbial mates are determined. The dependence of production processes and diversity of phototrophic organisms on physicochemical conditions is demonstrated, first of all on temperature and hydrogen sulphide content. Production processes go on most actively at a temperature of 30
