Abstract
Using the method of pyrosequencing a complete characterization of the bacterial community composition in the microbial mat of high-temperature zone of hot spring Alla (Buryatia) is given. Extracellular proteolytic activity in native samples (microbial mats and bottom sediments) was studied. It is shown that the microbial community has a spectrum of extracellular proteases and is characterized by variability in the distribution of protease activity on substrates.
