Description
Stefania Paduano and six co-authors characterize bacterial communities in thermal muds from two spas of an Italian complex by gene sequencing. Peloids form when clay matures in thermo mineral water and gains organic matter from microbes. Their healing reputation may rest on clay, water, and microbes together, yet hard evidence is lacking.
Waters and muds at two, four, and six months of maturation are profiled by 16S amplicon sequencing, which captures cultivable and uncultivable bacteria alike. Peloid communities differ sharply from the waters that made them. Muds from natural clay show greater richness than muds from sterile clay. Sulfur metabolism genera dominate in both spas, as expected for sulfide rich waters. The method gives a baseline for quality control of spa peloids.
