PLANKTONIC COMMUNITY OF UNIQUE HYPERGALLIN AND MESOGALLIN LAKES OF ORENBURG REGION ^{[№ 5 (app.1) ' 2005]}
Specific structure of plankton, represented with limited number of microorganisms, which have low specific variety and specific structure, was determined at research of hypergallin and mesogallin lakes of Orenburg region. Halophilous and halotolerant types of bacteria and algae are dominated in microbiocenose of lakes, protozoan are developed slightly. Got data are important for characteristic of biological variety, structure of planktonic community of hypergallin ponds and decoding of functioning mechanisms of hypergallin ecosystem.
