Bacteria of Lake Pyasino and Adjacent Rivers after an Accidental Diesel Spill in 2020

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The bacterial composition of water and sediments in Lake Pyasino and adjacent rivers has been studied by high-throughput sequencing for the first time. No hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are found in the river sections exposed to the diesel spillage in May 2020. The Daldykan and Ambarnaya rivers, located downstream of the spill site, are dominated by bacteria that oxidize sulfur and heavy metals. At the same time, these bacteria are not found in Lake Pyasino, which is dominated by small cyanobacteria. Thus, the composition of bacteria in the water and sediments of the Norilsk-Pyasino lake–river system corresponds to the technogenic impact to which it is exposed and also demonstrates the buffer properties of Lake Pyasino as water flows into the Kara Sea.
