Taxonomic and ecophysiological characteristics of actinobacteria in soils of the dry steppe zone of the Selenga Highlands (Western Transbaikalia).

Arid habitats have recently attracted increasing attention in terms of biodiversity research and the discovery of new bacterial species. These habitats are among the target ecosystems suitable for isolating new strains of actinobacteria that are likely to produce new metabolites. This paper presents the results on the isolation of actinobacteria from soils of the dry steppe zone of the Selenga Highlands, the characterization of their taxonomic diversity, as well as ecological and trophic properties.

Dataset of the complete genome of strain 2BA6PG isolated from sediment from the bottom of the salt lake Verkhnee Beloe (Buryatia, Russia).

The strain 2BA6PG was isolated from sediment from the bottom of the salt lake Verkhnee Beloe (Buryatia, Russia). This strain's 7,651,223 bp complete genome has a high G + C content of 72.1% and consists of 7,069 coding sequences and 315 subsystems.

sp. nov., a halotolerant actinobacterium isolated from the Lake Gudzhirganskoe.

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming and coccus-shaped strain, designated strain G463, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of L. collected from Lake Gudzhirganskoe in Siberia. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, strain G463 belonged to the genus , with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to DSM 45258 (96.

Draft Genome Sequence of LMG 29479.

Here, we report a draft genome sequence of the strain Coralloluteibacterium stylophorae LMG 29479, acquired from the Belgian Coordinated Collections of Microorganisms. The genus currently includes only one species with a validly published name. These genome sequencing data are important for the phylogeny of the family.

sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from steppe soil.

A novel actinobacterial strain, designated 18, was isolated from a steppe soil sample collected in Buryatia, Russia and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic characterization. The strain was aerobic and Gram-stain-positive. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 18 exhibited highest similarity to CPCC 204357 (97.
