Geomicrobiological observation in Majdanska reka, Allchar, Macedonia

Allchar and surrounding area is well-known as polymetallic ore deposit with elevated concentrations of As, Tl, and Sb. Such ore deposit has unique impact to environment in sense of elevated heavy metals concentration in waters, soils and air. Constant influence of these toxic elements enhanced with weathering process(es) of the outcrops containing rare sulfide minerals produce environment with endemic species, like Violica Allcharica (Boev & al., 2014). Due to fact that Allchar area is distant from intensive anthropogenic influence, it represents an unique geochemical environment, but it was not studied yet for describing the geomicrobiological conditions. This study tries to identify specific interaction between mineral and living world.
