An actinomycete, strain 8T, was isolated from marsh soil in Kuwait. The strain was aerobic, gram-positive, halophilic and produced light blue to greyish aerial mycelium. The warty spores were sessile, occurring singly or in pairs on aerial mycelium. The mycelium was stable and did not fragment
A halophilic actinomycete, strain YIM 90003(T), was isolated from a soil sample collected from Xinjiang Province, China, by using starch-casein agar with a salt concentration of 20 % (w/v), pH 7.0. The strain grew well on most media tested. No diffusible pigment was produced. Aerial mycelium and
