Isolation and characterization of actinobacteria from Lake Magadi, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2013-08-09)
Actinobacteria are ubiquitous and have been detected in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although, various studies have focused on the ecology of this phylum, data on the ecology of actinobacteria endemic to soda lakes ...
Complete genome sequence of Planctomyces brasiliensis type strain (DSM 5305T), phylogenomic analysis and reclassification of Planctomycetes including the descriptions of Gimesia gen. nov., Planctopirus gen. nov. and Rubinisphaera gen. nov. and emended descriptions of the order Planctomycetales and the family Planctomycetaceae
(2014)
Planctomyces brasiliensis Schlesner 1990 belongs to the order Planctomycetales, which differs from other bacterial taxa by several distinctive features such as internal cell compartmentalization, multiplication by forming ...
Diversity of fungi in sediments and water sampled from the hot springs of Lake Magadi and Little Magadi in Kenya
(2016-02)
Lake Magadi and Little Magadi are saline, alkaline lakes lying in the southern part of Kenyan Rift Valley. Their solutes are supplied by a series of alkaline hot springs with temperatures as high as 86°C. Previous ...
Diversity of esterase and lipase producing haloalkaliphilic bacteria from Lake Magadi in Kenya
(2019-09)
Lipids are hydrocarbons comprised of long‐chain fatty acids and are found in all
living things. In the environment, microorganisms degrade them to obtain
energy using esterases and lipases. These enzymes are nowadays ...
Phylogenetic and morphological diversity of culturable cyanobacteria from Lake Magadi in Kenya
(2019-10)
Lake Magadi is an alkaline saline Lake in Kenya, which lies on the Great Eastern
Rift valley. Although the lake is characterized by extremes of salt, pH and
temperature, it supports diverse groups of cyanobacteria. In ...

Actinobacteria are ubiquitous and have been detected in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although, various studies have focused on the ecology of this phylum, data on the ecology of actinobacteria endemic to soda lakes ...
Bacteria and Archaea diversity within the hot springs of Lake Magadi and Little Magadi in Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2016-06)
Background: Lake Magadi and little Magadi are hypersaline, alkaline lakes situated in the southern part of Kenyan
Rift Valley. Solutes are supplied mainly by a series of alkaline hot springs with temperatures as high as ...
