Two strains of green algae having kidney-like cells in mucilage envelope without pyrenoids were isolated during the floristic study on algae in volcanic soil samples collected in the vicinity of Mutnovsky volcano (Kamchatka peninsula, Russia). Based on morphology, the strains were assigned to the genus Neocystis. 18S rRNA gene sequence comparisons confirmed, that the new isolates are members of the Neocystis clade. Thus, the genus Neocystis was reported from Kamchatka for the first time. The newly isolated Neocystis strains have good potential for use in biotechnology as sours of extracellular polymeric substances.
