N and P in the medium (see the variants with cycloheximide in Figs. 1a and 1b). This phenomenon is accounted for by the fact that prokaryotes are capable of the fixation of molecular nitrogen and, hence, a more autonomous functioning of the bacterial community responsible for cellulose degradation in Sphagnum peat bogs. Bacilli (the phylogenetic group Firmicutes) or Cytophaga-like bacteria (the Bacteroidetes group) are the main agents responsible for bacterial cellulose destruction in eutrophic habitats with neutral pH. Molecular identification of the bacteria responsible for the same process in the Sphagnum peat bogs yielded fundamentally different results. For example, in the original peat suspension, the population density of bacteria was 3.9× 108 cells/ml (table). After incubation in the presence of cellulose for 55 days, the total population density of bacteria increased by an order of magnitude, namely, to 3.4× 109 cells/ml. Active bacillus or cytophage cells were found in neither native peat suspension nor that containing the cellulolytic community enriched with N and P. Their population density was lower than the detection limit of the method (105 cells/ml), and these bacteria played no significant role in cellulose degradation in Sphagnum peat bogs. In
