What is Microbial community of a saline mud volcano at San Biagio‐Belpasso, Mt. Etna (Italy) about?
## Summary In San Biagio of Belpasso, approximately 20 km south of Mt. Etna, in the area of contact between volcanic and sedimentary formations, a number of small (3– 60 cm in diameter) active mud eruptions discharge CO~2~‐rich gases, mud and NaCl brines. They can be described as mini‐volcanoes owing to their typical conic shapes and continuously bubbling peak craters. Samples were collected from the active peak craters at a depth of 20 cm and DNA was immediately extracted and amplified with universal 16S rRNA gene‐specific primers, followed by cloning procedure. A total of 140 bacterial clones obtained were screened and clustered by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The pool of 16S rRNA sequences representing each RFLP cluster was subjected to phylogenetic analysis. All of the 33 sequences analysed were affiliated with the kingdom of __Eubacteria__; 28 sequences (77% of all clones) affiliated with the __Proteobacteria__, two sequences (19% of all clones) were affiliated with __Actinobacteria__ and three sequences (4% of all clones) were affiliated with the __Flexibacter‐Cytophaga‐Bacteroides__ division. The data obtained suggest that the microorganisms phyl
