Bacteria of hydrolytic complex in hydromorphic forest soils

For the first time, the rapid multipoint method was used to characterize th e complex of hydrolytic bacteria in hydromorphic forest soils. The soddy-gl ey soil differs markedly from the other hydromorphic soils by maximum value s of the number and the diversity of hydrolytic bacteria. In the peaty-podz olic and peat soils, the only representative of bacteria capable of decompo sing plant and microbial remnants is Bacillus, with the dominant species be ing Bacillus circulans. Spatial (along the soil profile) and temporal (spri ng-autumn) changes in the taxonomic structure of soil bacterial communities are revealed.
