RESUMEN
ABSTRACT
Microbiology of the mineral water of Jaraba Spas
Five carbonated hot springs from the town of Jaraba (Zaragoza, Spain) have
been studied. Water from all of them are used with therapeutic purposes at the

following Spas: Sicilia (San Vicente), Serón (San Luis and La Peña) and La Virgen
(San José and Pilas). Samples were collected at three different seasons of the year.
There was a low total number of microorganisms (1.9 x 104 to 2.1 x 105) most of
which were alive (75% to 85%). The number of heterotrophic viable bacteria was
lower than 10 cfu/ mL, with a predominance of Gram-negative bacilli (65%);
meanwhile Gram-positive cocci (17.3%) and Gram-positive non sporulated bacilli
(13.8%) were founded in lower percentage. The San Vicente, Pilas and San José
mineral hot springs have shown a great microbial diversity, whereas in La Peña
hot spring the genus mainly detected was Enterobacter. The main identified genera
of Gram-negative bacilli have been: Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Burkholderia,
Ochrobactrum and Brevundimonas. On the other hand, most of the Gram-positive
cocci identified belong to the genus Staphylococcus, and the Gram-positive bacilli
belong to the genera Cellulomonas, Corynebacterium and Rhodococcus. No faecal
indicators were detected neither pathogenic microorganisms. The number of pro-
teolytic, amylolytic and ammonifiers microorganisms was lower than 103/ 100 mL;
and cellulolytic and halophylic microorganisms and fungi were detected in redu-
ced number (lower than 50/100 mL). Neither sulphate reducing bacteria, actinomy-
cetes, cyanobacteria nor algi were detected.
