Eight moderately halotolerant naphthalene-degrading strains of the genus Rhodococcus isolated from soil samples and slime pit bottom sediment of the Verkhnekamsk salt mining region of Russia were characterized by PCR amplification of repetitive bacterial DNA elements (rep-PCR) and identified by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis.
