Draft genome sequence of Thermoactinomyces sp. Gus2-1 isolated from the hot-spring Gusikha in Bargusin Valley (Baikal Rift Zone, Russia) [PDF]
The Thermoactinomyces sp. strain Gus2-1 was isolated from hot-spring sediments sample from the hot-spring Gusikha in Bargusin Valley (Baikal Rift Zone, Russia). The sequenced and annotated genome is 2,623,309 bp and encodes 2513 genes.

Microbial Diversity of the Baikal Rift Zone Freshwater Alkaline Hot Springs and the Ecology of Polyextremophilic Dissimilatory Iron-Reducing Bacteria [PDF]
Polyextremophilic microbial communities of Baikal Rift Zone hot springs have been studied fragmentarily, and these studies have typically focused on either phototrophic microbial mats or on the whole microbial community from one or a few sites.

Cultivation-Based Detection of a Novel High-GC Nitrospira Derived From the Argentinian Copahue Volcano Area. [PDF]
In this cultivation‐based study, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments were obtained from the geothermal field Las Máquinas in the Neuquén Province, Argentina. Both nitrite oxidizers, belonging to lineage V or the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, contain quorum‐sensing genes and a high genome GC content of 60.6% and 69.4%.

Biodiversity of the microbial mat of the Garga hot spring [PDF]
Background Microbial mats are a good model system for ecological and evolutionary analysis of microbial communities. There are more than 20 alkaline hot springs on the banks of the Barguzin river inflows. Water temperature reaches 75 °C and pH is usually

Structure and evolution of the Baikal rift: A synthesis
Active continental rifts are spectacular manifestations of the deformation of continents but are not very numerous at the surface of the Earth. Among them, the Baikal rift has been extensively studied during the last decades. Yet no simple scenario explains its origin and development because the style of rifting has changed throughout its ∼30 Myr ...

A new perspective on evolution of the Baikal Rift
AbstractA new model is suggested for the history of the Baikal Rift, in deviation from the classic two-stage evolution scenario, based on a synthesis of the available data from the Baikal Basin and revised correlation between tectonic–lithological–stratigraphic complexes (TLSC) in sedimentary sections around Lake Baikal and seismic stratigraphic ...

TRACES OF HIGH SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN THE UPPERMOST SEDIMENTS OF LAKE BAIKAL, SIBERIA
Sedimentation in Lake Baikal is significantly affected by continuous seismic activity in the Baikal Rift Zone. Our study shows that historical earthquakes, as well as recent seismic events, considerably influenced sedimentation in this deep tectonic ...

Seismotectonics of Mongolia and Baikal Rift Zone Controlled by Lithospheric Structures
Active tectonics are developing in Mongolia and the Baikal rift zone, where large crustal earthquakes (Mw ≥ 6.0) occur frequently. To clarify the mechanism of these earthquakes, we determine a high‐resolution 3‐D P‐wave velocity model of the crust and ...
