title: [Haloalkaliphilic actinomycetes in soils of Mongolian desert steppes].
abstract: The abundance of actinomycetes isolated from the soils of Mongolian desert steppes varies from several thousand to hundreds of thousands of CFU/g soil, depending on soil type and isolation medium. Eight actinomycete genera have been found in these soils: Streptomyces, Micromonospora, Saccharopolyspora, Actinomadura, Microtetraspora, Thermomonospora, Nocardia, and Dactylosporangium. The streptomycete complexes of brown desert-steppe and gray-brown desert alkaline soils include halophilic, alkaliphilic, and haloalkaliphilic species that grow most successfully on the media with a salt concentration of 5% and pH 8-9.
