Abstract excerpt
A brown-orange-pigmented, non-spore-forming, coccus-shaped actinomycete, designated S2-20(T), was isolated from desert sand from Xinjiang Province in China. The isolate stains Gram-positive, is motile and produces a brownish diffusible pigment. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2-20(T) was phylogenetically affiliated to the genus Kineococcus, and the sequence similarity...
