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.

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 ...

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.

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

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%.

IDENTIFICATION OF EARTHQUAKE AFTERSHOCK AND SWARM SEQUENCES IN THE BAIKAL RIFT ZONE
The catalog of earthquakes (КR³6.6) which occurred in the Baikal rift zone (BRZ) was declastered, and the results are presented in the article. Aftershocks of seismic events (КR³12.5) were determined by the software developed by V.B.

Statistics of multiscale fragmentation in the Primorsky fault zone [PDF]
Tectonic stresses cause rock deformation and disintegration. We examined the fragmentation statistics of brittle rocks composing the damage zone of the Primorsky Fault of the Baikal Rift Zone at scales ranging from microns to kilometers.

Small hollows in the Baikal Rift Zone
Large grabens, or rift valleys, are of the utmost significance in the neotectonic structure of the Baikal Rift Zone. It is also the home for numerous small hollows which are distinguished by their morphological diversity, structural positions and special features of neogeodynamics.

MORPHOSTRUCTURE OF THE KODAR-UDOKAN SECTION OF THE BAIKAL RIFT ZONE
The morphostructure of the region is a natural result of active geodynamics in the eastern Stanovoe Upland. Extreme seismic conditions become apparent in rare devastating earthquakes (up to 10-11 in the Mercally scale), as well as in frequent slight ones.
