In the course of this study, we isolated both widespread strains of the genus Streptomyces, and rare representatives of the genus Saccharopolyspora, Nonomuraea, Rhodococcus and Micromonospora. We demonstrated that the strains produce natural products with antimicrobial activity. Considering the large number of rare and active strains associated with the endemic algae D. baicalensis, we shown that these microorganisms have a value for biomedical and biotechnological development and to discovery of new natural compounds, including antibiotics.
