Data of isolation and identification of Actinobacteria from rhizospheric soil collected from the Arctic Yellow River Station in 2007

Using spread-plate technique, actinobacterial strains were isolated from rhizospheric soil of 7 plants collected in the Arctic Yellow River Station, New Alesund, Svalbard (Ny-Alesund, the Arctic). 53 actinobacteria were indentified by the analysis of ARDRA and 16S rDNA sequences and were shown to represent strains from 8 genera: Streptomyces and Arthrobacter which is predominant and rare actinobacteria Rhodococcus, Saccharothrix, Rathayibacter, Micrococcus, Nocardia, Kribbella.
