The change effect of temperature and organic substances on the microbial community of the coastal zone of lake Baikal

Under the experimental conditions, the influence of the temperature changes and the addition of organic substances on the characteristics of the microbial community of the Lake Baikal coastal water was studied. The change in temperature had practically no ef- fect on the numbers and composition of microbial community. The addition of organic readily decomposable substances stimulated the growth of bacteria and changed the composition of the community.
