Genetic and biochemical methods and morphological examination were used to study microorganisms isolated from samples of deep drilling of the Lake Baikal bottom sediments. Based on blot hybridization patterns, the strains investigated were divided into several groups according to the degree of homology of their genomic DNA. Morphological, biochemical, and ultrastructural characteristics of bacterial strains are described, and their compliance with the genomic analysis data is demonstrated.
