| description | The aim of this study was to identify the composition of the microbial iversity on three terrestrial saline springs in colombian Andes (Departments of Risaralda and Boyacá). For the accomplishment of this work two located saline springs in Central Mountain range (Salado de Consotá and Salado La Cristalina) and one located in the Eastern Mountain range were selected (Salpa). The saline spring Salado de Consotá is characterized by its archaeological findings, their high salinity, pH neutral oscillating between 6,7 and 7,4, and high values of calcium, chlorides and sulphates. Whereas the spring La Cristalina one (Arabia) has pH alkaline near 8,5, a contained calcium minor, but also high values of sulphates and chlorides. The saline spring Salpa, whose chemical composition is characterized by the high sulphate concentration is used at the moment for the commercial production of Na SO . 2 4 The obtained results show that these habitat are highly diverse and that still it is left much to know on his diversity, nevertheless, is evident that the microbial composition is dominated by organisms of the class alpha and gamma proteobacteria. |

El objetivo general de este estudio fue el de identificar la composición de la diversidad microbiana de tres manantiales salinos ubicados en el sistema montañoso de los Andes colombianos (Departamentos de Risaralda y Boyacá). Para la realización de este trabajo, se seleccionaron dos manantiales salinos ubicados en la Cordillera Central (Salado de Consotá y La Cristalina) y uno ubicado en la Cordillera Oriental (Salpa). El manantial Salado de Consotá se caracteriza por sus hallazgos arqueológicos, su alta salinidad, pH cercanamente neutro, oscilando entre 6,7 y 7,4, alto contenido de calcio, cloruros y sulfatos, mientras que el manantial La Cristalina (Arabia) tiene un pH alcalino cercano a 8,5, un menor contenido de calcio, pero también valores altos de sulfatos y cloruros. El manantial salino Salpa, cuya composición química se caracteriza por la alta concentración de sulfato es usado actualmente para la producción comercial de Na2SO4. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que estos hábitat son altamente diversos y que aún queda mucho por conocer sobre su diversidad, sin embargo, es evidente que la composición microbiana es dominada por organismos de la clase alfa y gamma proteobacteria.
