Abstract

This article presents the effect of chemical factors of nitric mineral water of the hydro-geotermal deposits “Paratunskoe” on various physiological groups of micro-organisms of therapeutic mud of the lake “Utinoe” on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Significant changes in the structure and properties of the curative mud are most often directly related to the activity of micro-organisms contained therein. It shows the effect of mineral water on groups of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. Thermal water has a significant stimulating effect on ammonifying aerobic and anaerobic sulfate-reducing microorganisms. A series of experiments demonstrated that the lower amount of oxidants and the greater ability to restoring the environment favor anaerobic microorganisms of the peloid. At the same time, the slower physicochemical changes of the peloid allow the microorganisms to adapt to them, it does not cause drastic imbalance between different physiological groups.

Keywords

therapeutic mud, peloid, sediments, thermal water, mineral water, deposit of therapeutic muds, autochthonous microbial community, physiological groups.
