The paper presents the results of a spectroscopic study of the "colored" water detected in the splash baths in the supralittoral zone of the Alaid Volcano (the Kuril Islands) from 2015 to 2019. The splash baths with magenta, red and red-yellow water located in different parts of the island in various summer seasons. The analysis of fluorescenсе and absorption data of the water samples revealed the presence of a large amount of bacteriochlorophyll a in the water, which is the main photosynthetic pigment of purple sulfur bacteria. The assumption of the presence of cells of microorganisms was confirmed by observations under a microscope. To determine the morphotype of microorganisms the acetonemethanol extracts from the samples were prepared and studied using spectral methods. The characteristic absorption lines of carotenoids and the monomeric form of bacteriochlorophyll identified cells as Thiocystis and Thiorhodococcus morphotypes of purple sulfur bacteria. The regular observation of water samples with microorganisms in the supralittoral zone of the Alaid Volcano leads to the conclusion that the development of the purple phototrophic bacteria is not an accidental event, but a typical phenomenon in this area. The fact that each summer season colored water were found in different places indicates a cyclical changes in living conditions of microorganisms from favorable to unfavorable habitats.

Optical characteristics of natural water samples collected in 2015-2017 in the supralittoral zone of the Alaid Volcano, the Kuril Islands

The work presents the results of spectroscopic study of the natural water with microorganisms from the splash baths in the Atlasov Island (the Alaid Volcano). The Alaid Volcano is the highest, northernmost and one of the most active volcanoes of the Kuril Islands, the unique object for interdisciplinary research. In 2015 within the supralittoral zone of the island the several splash pools filled with colored marine water were discovered for the first time. The paper presents the results of spectral measurements and microbiological studies performed on natural water samples taken in 2015-2017 from the supralittoral zone of the Alaid Volcano, the Kuril Islands, as well as the photosynthetic microorganisms cultivated from those samples in laboratory. The absorption spectra of the native samples and the cultures of photosynthetic bacteria cultivated from original water demonstrated pronounced maxima at 380, 590, 806, 854 nm wavelengths and the shoulders peaked at 510, 590 and 890 nm. The observed absorption maxima revealed the presence of bacteriochlorophyll а, the main photosynthetic pigment of purple sulfur bacteria, and additionally the cells of purple sulfur bacteria Thiocystis and Thiorhodococcus morphotypes were detected in water under microscope. Observation of water colored by photosynthetic microbes in different parts of the Atlasov Island within several summer seasons in 2015-2017 allowed us to conclude that the development of the purple phototrophic bacteria in the splash baths above the littoral zone is not an accidental event, but the stable phenomenon. On the other Kuril Islands similar splash baths have not been encountered yet.
