Popis: Prokaryotes were analyzed in the samples of ice and soils collected by the joint Russian-German-Mongolian expedition (2006) at the site of archeological excavations of two Pazyryk culture mounds in the upper Olon-Kurin-Gol River on the southern slope of the Saylyugem Mountains, Mongolian Altai. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene fragments of the cultured bacteria revealed three major groups wide-spread in permafrost soils: Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria. Analysis of the total DNA from the samples revealed nonculturable bacteria of the phyla Alphaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Gemmatoidetes, Firmicutes, and CFB (Cytophaga-Flavobacteria-Bacteroidetes) isolated from the samples of permafrost soils (Arctic, tundra, and from Tibet highlands), groundwater, and Arctic and Antarctic ice cores.
