Abstract

The diversity of cultured aerobic organisms collected from water samples and bottom sediment from two areas of natural oil seepage on Lake Baikal has been researched. Representatives of Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria have been found in samples collected near the Bol’shaya Zelenovskaya River mouth, while near Cape Gorevoi Utes Betaproteobacteria were absent. Most cultures are characterized by a sufficiently high homology level (96–100%) with nucleotide sequences from the international database.
