Characterization of isolated strains of microorganisms from mineral, mountain and spring waters from France, Italy, England, South Korea, Japan, Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, Dubai, Serbia and Bulgaria
The aim of this work is to isolate and identify microorganisms from 500 medicinal, mountain and spring waters from Europe, Asia and America, in the region of Paris, France, Rome, Saturnia, Venice, Italy, London, England, Busan, Seoul, Incheon, South Korea, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Japan, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Baden, Vienna, Zurich, Bern, Geneva, Switzerland, Barcelona, Milan, Saturnia, Venice, Italy, Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Spain, , Munich Berlin, Frankfurt, Germany, Athens, Greece, Alanya, Cappadocia. Turkey, Dubai, Singapore, Orlando, Los Angeles, New York, USA and in 24 regions of Bulgaria. 350 bacterial strains were isolated, morphological, cultural and biological properties of the identified strains were determined. 20% are unidentified, this means that they are new and are the subject of research. For the first time, not only microorganisms and archaea, but also algae and trees were identified in the springs. These springs are located in areas near the Yellow Sea, the South China Sea, the Sea of Japan, which are part of the Pacific Ocean, and the Persian Gulf as a part of the Indian Ocean. The data show that the isolated 9 strains from the hypothermal healing spring waters in the Paris area, France were identified as N. Valcheva - Lisinibacillus pakistanensis, Serratia marcescens (four strains), Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus haemoliticus, Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus cereus. The isolated strains from thermal healing springs in Saturnia, Tuscany region and Fontana di Trevi in Rome,
