Abstract

The microbial communities of the Lake Bolshoe Goluboe hydroecosystem (Kazan, RT) were studied. As a result of sulfate groundwater influx, microorganisms involved in the sulfur cycle develop in the lake hydroecosystem. The colorless sulfur bacteria predominate quantitatively in bacterioplankton and bacteriobenthos. The high abundance of this bacterial group indicates it important role in hydroecosystem self-purification from the hydrogen sulfide. The lake bottom sediments are inhabited by sulfate-reducing bacteria, it number increases significantly with the depth of the lake. To protect against oxidative stress, sulfate-reducing bacteria form microbial consortia with iron-oxidizing bacteria. According to microbiological indicators, the lake water is characterized as «conditionally clean». The state of the lake according to the scale of ecological modifications is estimated within the normal range.
