abstract= A novel actinomycete strain, designated 12-833T, was isolated from a crude oil-contaminated site north of Kuwait. The isolated strain showed the ability to degrade crude oil and various hydrocarbons. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 12-833T belonged to the genus Prauserella and was closely related to Prauserella muralis 05-Be-005T (98.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Prauserella marina MS498T (96.9 %) and Prauserella rugosa DSM 43194T (96.7 %). The DNA G+C content of strain 12-833T was 71.1 mol%. Phenotypic, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain 12-833T represents a novel species of the genus Prauserella, for which the name Prauserella soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 12-833T ( = DSM 45819T = LMG 28346T).,
