Description
Summary:The microbial mats of dif ferent types of springs in Central Asia (Zabaikalye and Mongolia) are described. The species diversity of mat-formed phototrophic bacteria was determined. The rates of microbial destruction processes (sulfate reduction and methane formation) were measured. An important role of bacteria and algae in the formation of mineral water composition was shown.
