Mogoyskiy and Shurindinskiy thermal springs were investigated. Springs are characterized by big variety of cyanobacteria. 7 families and 15 species of cyanobacteria were found out. Phormidium angustissimum, Ph. valderiae and Synechococcus elongates are dominating. Data on chlorophyll a shows that microbic communities of springs are highly productive systems, the basic producers in which are cyanobacteria. The highest value of general abundance of bacteria was defined in Shurindinskiy spring.
