Peat mud (peloids) are natural organomineral complexes formed during the decomposition of organic residues in swampy areas under conditions of lack of oxygen. They have a high heat capacity and contain biologically active substances (salts, gases, biostimulants, metabolites of organisms, etc.), as well as living microorganisms. However, the microbial composition of peloids is practically unknown. The purpose of the work was to analyze the microbial composition of peat peloids from the Taborli-3
