[Method] 10 strains of typical Actinomycetes were isolated from Mangrove forest soil,and the Actinomycetes genomic DNA was successful extracted. 16S rDNA was amplified by PCR and sequenced by Sanger dideoxy sequencing method. [Result] All the sequences were blasted in genbank,eight strains belonged to the genus of Streptomyces (80%),and two strains belonged to the genus of Nocardiopsis (20%). [Conclusion] There are many different Actinomycetes species in Mangrove forest soil samples in Beihai,Guangxi Province.展开更多

Molecular phylogeny and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated the bacterial strain was a member of the Streptomyces genus. To assess its potential to release potassium from silicate minerals, this strain was used to degrade potassium-bearing rock powder by solid-state fermentation. After fermentation, the amount of water-soluble A1, Fe and K of the substrate with active inoculum was higher than those of the control, which had autoclaved inoculum, and those of the fresh substrate. The result indicated that the strain had the ability to weather potassium-bearing rock and could be used as an inoculum in the production of potassium bio-fertilizer, due to its potassium release activity from rock and tolerance to high temperature.展开更多
