| Abstract: | The structure and functional activity of the microbial communities formed under different environmental conditions of the Khoito-Gol mineral springs are investigated. The habitat of microorganisms in the Khoito-Gol springs is characterized by abundant hydrogen sulfide and intense circulation of sulfur with the participation of sulfate-reducing, thionic, colorless, and purple bacteria. The main terminal process of microbial destruction of organic matter is sulfate reduction. |
