Isolation of Nannocystis species from Iran and exploring their natural products.

Several different techniques were employed for the isolation of Nannocystis from various sources. A polyphasic approach was used for identification. Twelve strains of N.

Nannocystis konarekensis sp. nov., a novel myxobacterium from an Iranian desert.

An orange-coloured myxobacterium, MNa11734, was isolated from desert in Iran. MNa11734 had rod-shaped vegetative cells, moved by gliding and was bacteriolytic. No real fruiting body formation could be observed, but sporangioles were produced on water agar.
