The present work covers a distribution of thionic (TB), denitrifying (DNB) and sulfate reducing (SRB) groups of bacteria inhabiting the bottom sediments of the coastal water area of Sevastopol (Black Sea), depending on the redox conditions and depth. Sampling and subsequent treatment of the material were conducted using standard methods of hydrobiology and general microbiology. The studied groups of bacteria are isolated from bottom sediments with different indicators of redox potential (ORP) Eh
