| Chromatiaceae are unceasing present in the sediment of Certes's lagoons. The genera isolated ares Thiocapsa (80%),Chromatium and Ectothio- rhodospira. From august to October 1977, physical-chemical and bacteriological analysis, in red water present in lagoons, show the Chromatiaceae proliferation and presence of hydrogen sulfide. In October 1977, a study of white water development display the absence of sulphurbacteria and the presence of hydrogen sulfide,carbon dioxide and carbonate. The important role of phototrophic bacteria in the sulphur cycle are demonstrated by comparison between these waters. |
