Abstract
Lake Kononjer, a so-called karst-lake, 22.5 m in depth, is situated in the south part of the Autonomous Soviet Republic of Mariji nearby the Hill of Klenogorsk. The observations were made in September 1970. Sunlight penetrated into the lake down to the upper limit of hydrogen sulphide, the water being nearly neutral in reaction and with temperatures of 7—10° C. In depths of 10.5—12 m conditions were favorable for the development of Oscillatoria prolifica and photosynthesizing bacteria as well, consisting of 10 different species of purple, greenish and brownish bacteria. Above this layer reddish coloured Oscillatoria prolifica developed, and still higher — in the microaerobic zone — Metallogenium personatum was living.
