Mineral waters of Serbia and development of phototrophic microbial communities near points of emergence and on wellheads by Vladimir Šaraba, Slađana Popović, Olivera Krunić, Gordana Subakov Simić, Željko Kljajić, Milojko Lazić

“…The smallest number of identified phototrophic microorganisms is noted at Lukovska Banja, where the origin is associated with a fractured aquifer formed in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, with occasional diabase interbeds. Although many representative taxa are found on only one of the studied localities, such as Synechococcus bigranulatus and Pseudanabaena thermalis, those of the genera Leptolyngbya, Phormidium and Cosmarium laeve, as well as genera of the phylum Bacillariophyta, occur at several sampling sites. …”
