MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SAMPLES OF MATERIALS LOCATED IN THE COASTAL ZONE OF THE BARENTS SEA

Abstract

The composition of the microbial community isolated from the surface of samples of structural materials located in the area of the Kislogubskaya tidal power plant in the Barents Sea was determined. Groups of potentially corrosion-active microorganisms were identified using selective culture media. The Pseudomonas fluorescens strain, belonging to the group of iron-oxidizing bacteria, characterized by a chemoorganotrophic type of nutrition was isolated. The morphological, physiological, biochemical and cultural characteristics of the strain and the analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences were determined.
