Abstract: 
The success of members of the genusRhodococcusin colonizing arid rocky environments is owed in part to desiccation tolerance and an ability to extract iron through the secretion and uptake of siderophores. Here, we report a comprehensive genomic and taxonomic analysis ofRhodococcus qingshengiistrain S10 isolated from eathered serpentine rock at the arid Khalilovsky massif, Russia. Sequence comparisons of whole genomes and of selected marker genes clearly showed strain S10 to belong to theR. qingshengiispecies.Four prophage sequences within theR. qingshengiiS10 genome were identified, one of which encodes for a putative siderophore-interacting protein. Among the ten non-ribosomal peptides synthase (NRPS) clusters identified in the strain S10 genome, two show high homology to those responsible for siderophore synthesis. Phenotypic analyses demonstrated thatR. qingshengiiS10 secretes siderophores and possesses adaptive features (tolerance of up to 8% NaCl and pH 9) that should enable survival in its native habitat within dry serpentine rock.
