Abstract

We investigated the bacterial community structure of Soldhar hot spring with extreme high temperature 95°C located in Uttarakhand, India using high throughput sequencing. Bacterial phyla Proteobacteria (88.8%), Deinococcus-Thermus (7.5%), Actinobacteria (2.3%), and Firmicutes (1.07%) were predominated in the sequencing survey, whereas Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, Aquificae and Acidobacteria were detected in relatively lower abundance in Soldhar hot spring. At the family level, Comamonadaceae (52.5%), Alteromonadaceae (15.9%), and Thermaceae (7.5%) were mostly dominated in the ecosystem followed by Chromatiaceae, Microbacteriaceae, and Cyclobacteriaceae. Besides, members of Rhodobacteraceae, Moraxellaceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Aquificaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacillaceae, Methylophilaceae, etc. were detected as a relatively lower abundance. In the present study we discuss the overall microbial community structure and their relevance to the ecology of the Soldhar hot spring environment.
