Özet
In this study, the chemical constitution and microbial heterogeneity of a natural soda water spring situated in Çerme Village, Turkey were examined. In the chemical assessments, it was ascertained that several parameters such as pH, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate and total organic matter were in accordance with potable water criteria. However, it was determined that some elements such as manganese (0.83487 mg/L), nitrite, ammonium, iron, aluminum, copper and sulfur exceeded the limit values. A total of 12 bacteria were isolated using culture-based methods and these isolates were identified at species level. The bacteria that were isolated are composed of the genera Staphylococcus, Kurthia, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, and Listeria. The Shannon diversity index (H′ = 1.86) suggests that there is moderate microbial diversity. It is worth mentioning that the very high concentration of manganese …
