Microbiological, molecular ecological, biogeochemical, and isotope geochemical research was carried out at the polar Lake Bol’shie Khruslomeny at the coast of the Kandalaksha Bay, White Sea in March and September 2017. The uppermost mixolimnion was oxic, with low salinity (3–5%). The lower chemoclin...
