Table 3.
Bacterial strains isolated from the Dukhan soil samples. The point numbers are the numbers of the systematic sampling points. Each code is for one purified species/strain. The similarities and accession numbers were obtained after the DNA sequences had been deposited in the Gene Bank database using the Blast server at the US National Center for Biotechnology Information.
