Natronoglycomyces albus gen. nov., sp. nov, a haloalkaliphilic actinobacterium from a soda solonchak soil.

ABSTRACT: A haloalkaliphilic hydrolytic actinobacterium, strain ACPA22^T, was enriched and isolated in pure culture from saline alkaline soil (soda solonchak) in northeastern Mongolia. The isolate was facultatively alkaliphilic, growing at pH 6.5-10.5 (optimum at 7.3-9.0) and highly salt-tolerant, tolerating up to 3 M total Na⁺ as carbonates. The hydrolytic nature of ACPA22^T was confirmed by two different growth-dependent methods and by the presence of multiple glycosidase-encoding genes in the genome. The 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that strain ACPA22^T formed a deep-branching lineage within the family Glycomycetaceae, with the highest sequence similarity value to Glycomyces buryatensis 18^T (92.1 %) and
