Abstract:
The taxonomic structure of soil microbial community was studied in six samples taken from a salt marsh along the salinity gradient and in two samples of non-saline soils using pyrosequencing method (454 Roche). The analysis allowed to identify three main ecological groups of microorganisms depending on the degree of the soil salinity. Halophylic microorganisms were mainly represented by bacteria of three phyla Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes and included much less of archaea (the Halobacteriaceae family).

Pyrosequencing is less complex, involves fewer steps, and has a superior limit of detection compared with Sanger sequencing.

Because deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates are sequentially added to the reaction and because the pyrophosphate concentration is continuously monitored, the DNA sequence can be determined. Ob
