Microbial diversity and biogeochemical processes of the Gangxi bed with low-mineral water and a temperature gradient from 35 to 54A degrees C were studied. The 16S rRNA gene clone libraries (over 800 clones) were obtained from microbial DNA isolated from formation water and from the primary enrichment cultures for fermenting, sulfate-reducing, methanogenic, and aerobic organotrophic prokaryotes. While both sulfate reduction and methanogenesis were registered in formation water by radioisotope techniques, the genes of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes were not revealed in the 16S rRNA gene clone library from formation water. The 16S rRNA genes of Methanobacterium congolense and Methanococcus vannielii predominated among archaeal sequences retrieved from formation water, while the genes of Methanothermobacter thermoautotrophicus, Methanomethylovorans thermophila, and Methanoculleus sp. predominated in the combined library from enrichment cultures. In the library of Bacteria 16S rRNA genes from formation water, the genes of thermophilic fermentative bacteria of the family Thermoanaerobacteriaceae predominated; the remaining sequences belonged to mesophiles (genera Brevundimonas, Sphingomonas, Oxalicibacterium, and Stenotrophomonas), the phylum Chloroflexi, and unidentified bacteria. The combined library from enrichment cultures, contained, apart from the sequences of the family Thermoanaerobacteriaceae, the genes of fermentative bacteria (genera Anaerobaculum, Coprothermobacter, Thermanaerovibrio, Soehngenia, Bacteroides, and Aminobacterium and the order Thermotogales), of aerobic hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria (genera Pannonibacter and Pseudomonas), and of sulfate reducers (genera Desulfomicrobium, Thermodesulfovibrio, and Desulfotomaculum). High coverage was shown for bacterial (97.6%) and archaeal (100%) clone libraries, indicating that a significant portion of the microbial diversity in the studied communities was revealed.
