Abstract

The structure and function of bacterial communities in sediments of aquatic ecosystems have been considered using the molecular method of gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Specific substances of microbial origin have been discovered in the samples and assigned to most probable genera or species. The local bank of microbial markers has been designed for lake silts. The composition of bacteriobenthic community is determined quantitatively using the algebra algorithm of decomposition of the total fatty acids profile into individual taxonomic components.
