Psychrotolerant actinomycetes on plant substrates of tundra and taiga ecosystems

详细

Studies of tundra flowering plants and mosses on the Тaymyr Peninsula have determined the presence of thousands and tens of thousands of colony formation units of psychrotolerant actinomycetes in 1 g of vegetation substrate, which is smaller than the amount of mesophilic forms by one to two orders of magnitude. Incubation of plants at 5°C has shown very small taxonomical variety of actinomycetes. The actinomycete complex is represented by species of the genus Streptomyces, belonging to the sections and series Albus Albus and Cinereus Achromogenes, and by the genus Micromonospora.
