Abstract

The
autochthonous
and
alocthonous
microbiota
 of
 the
 natural
 mineral
 water
 of
 Villavieja
 Spa have
 been
 studied.
 The
 total
 number
 of
 microorganisms
 in
 the
 water
 was
 of
 4.7
 x104/mL
 and
 the
 number
 of
 heterotrophic
 and
 oligotrophic
 viable
 bacteria
 was
 103 cfu/mL.
 Neither
 faecal
 indicators
 nor
 pathogenic
 microorganisms
were
found
in
250 mL
of
water.
 The
 autochthonous
 microbiota
 mostly
 belongs to
 Gram‐negative
 bacilli,
 from the
 Phylum Proteobacteria (64.4%)
 and
 in
 smaller
 percentage to
 the Gram‐positive
bacilli
(24.4%)
 and
 cocci
 (6.7%).
 The
 most
 frequently
 found
 species
 were Pseudomonas
 pseudoalcaligenes (15.5%)
 and
 Leifsonia
 aquatica (13.3%).
 Moreover ammonifying,
 proteolytic,
 amylolytic
 and
 sulphato‐reducted
 bacteria
 have
 been
 detected
 in
 100 mL
 of
 water,
 all
 of
 them
 involved
in
self‐purification
process
of
water.
