Streptomyces pimonensis sp. nov., isolated from the Taklimakan desert in Xinjiang, China [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Microbiology, 2021
Abstract A novel Streptomyces strain, designated TRM 75549T, was separated from a sample of sand in Pimo, Taklimakan desert, Xinjiang, North-West China. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequences placed strain TRM75549T within the genus Streptomyces with the highest similarities to Streptomyces flavoviridis NBRC 12772T (98.76%).
