The paper presents the results of research into the distribution of microorganisms in brines with the total dissolved solids of 40–80 g/dm3, found in the Paleozoic platform of the Polish Lowlands. Water samples were collected from boreholes extracting water from the Jurassic and Triassic aquifers. The total number of microorganisms in the examined water samples ranged from 10 to 30 x 103 cells per 1 cm3, while their viability ranged from 14 to 58%. The samples contained heterotrophic, chemoautotrophic, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as well as bacteria participating in the transformation of iron and sulphur compounds. Molecular identification of culturable bacteria isolated from water samples revealed that they belong to six genera: Bacillus and Staphylococcus within phylum Firmicutes, Micrococcus and Kocuria within phylum Actinobacteria, and Marinobacter and Pseudoalteromonas within phylum Proteobacteria (class Gammaproteobacteria). The most abundant were Bacillus and Micrococcus isolates related to six different species: B. amyloliquefaciens, B. pumilus, B. methylotrophicus, B. licheniformis, M. luteus and M. yunnanensis.

Składowiska odpadów komunalnych stanowią poważne zagrożenie dla jakości środowiska. Lokowanie bowiem odpadów na powierzchni terenu powoduje m.in., iż infiltrujące wody opadowe ługują z nich związki chemiczne i mikroorganizmy, zanieczyszczając glebę i wody podziemne. A zatem warto wiedzieć, jaki jest wpływ tego typu składowisk na zmiany stanu wskaźników sanitarnych gleby, informujących o możliwości wystąpienia w niej ryzyka związanego z obecnością drobnoustrojów patogennych.

This paper presents the results of research on the number, the rate of secondary production and physiological properties of neustonic (surface microlayer SM ≈ 250 μm) and planktonic (subsurface water SSW ≈ 10-15cm) bacteria of the eutrophic lake (TP 30-99 μg l-1; TN 0.94-1.76 mg l-1; chlorophyll a 26.4-56.9 mg l-1; water transparency 1.2-1.9 m). It was found that the total number of neustonic bacteria (TNB) varied from 1.28 × 106 to 1.98 × 106 cells ml-1 and was from 1.4 to 2.0 times higher than the number of planktonic bacteria (P <0.001). TNB range for planktonic bacteria oscillated between 0.75 × 106 and 1.45 × 106 cells ml-1. The number of heterotrophic neustonic (SM) bacteria (CFU 22°C) was also higher by 2.0 to 13.3 times (P <0.001) being between 1.48 and 12.5 × 103 cells ml-1 while the CFU of bacteria in the SSW oscillated between 0.35 to 0.94 × 103 cells ml-1. Both the values of TNB and CFU displayed a distinct seasonal variation (P <0.001). However, the rate of secondary production of planktonic bacteria was higher (from 1.1 to 6.0 times) than the rate of production of neustonic bacteria (P <0.05) and displayed seasonal variability (P <0.001). The rate of secondary production in subsurface water ranged from 0.676 to 1.265 μgC l-1 h-1 while in surface microlayer from 0.118 to 0.597 μgC l-1 h-1. In neuston the bacteria decomposing fat and DNA were more common than in plankton (P <0.05).
