Microbial communities of the Kamchatka Peninsula terrestrial hot springs were studied using radioisotopic and cultural approaches, as well as by the amplification and sequencing of dsrB and 16S rRNA genes fragments. Radioisotopic experiments with (35)S-labeled sulfate showed that microbial communiti...
