Abstract
Results of hydrochemical and microbiological investigation of 13 sodium-saline lakes of the Onon-Kerulen group, characterized by high pH (8,5-10,5) and mineralization (5,3-382,8 g/l) are presented. The seasonal and annual dynamics of the numbers of individuals of different physiological groups of bacteria destroying the organic matter and the rates of microbial processes were investigated in microbial mats and in bottom sediments.
