Abstract
In the sor (playa) solonchaks of chloride and sulfate–chloride salinity (the content of readily soluble salts is 0.9–1.0%) in the delta of the Khara River discharging into Lake Elton, the number of mycelial actinobacteria (actinomycetes) is low ((2–3) × 103 CFU/g of soil). At a distance from the water’s edge, these soils are substituted for the light chestnut ones, for which an elevated number of actinomycetes (an order of magnitude higher than in the sor solonchaks) and a wider generic spectrum are characteristic. The actinomycetal complex is included the Streptomyces and Micromonospora genera, whereas in the sor solonchaks around the lake, representatives of Micromonospora were not found.
