The 16S rRNA gene sequence of isolate coded 4 Alga was 100% identical to sequences of Streptomyces sp. isolates from Norway and from Solomon Islands, which also were the closest relatives of P2C4 (99.53%) and MIUG 12P (99.53%) isolates. The data emphasised the skills of the strains Streptomyces 4 Alga, Streptomyces P2C4 and Streptomyces MIUG 12P to biosynthesis cold-adapted amylases and proteases suitable in bioconversion processes at low temperature. These results are quit valuable, because only few streptomycetes, particularly psychrotolerant ones, have so far been explored for their enzymatic potential in cold conditions.}, number={1}, journal={Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca}, author={COTARLET, Mihaela and BAHRIM, Gabriela Elena and NEGOITA, Teodor Gheorghe and STOUGAARD, Peter}, year={2010}, month={Jun.}, pages={61–65} }
