Geography and Ecology

[edit]

Severka is located 16 km south of Klyuchi (the district's administrative centre) by road. Novovoznesenka is the nearest rural locality.[3] Between Severka and the Russia-Kazakhstan border there is a lake named Petukhovo or Petukhovskoye (озеро Петуховское), a hypersaline soda lake.[4] Metagenomic analyses of lake samples collected in July 2016 indicate the presence of archaea belonging to the Lokiarchaeota group (MAG: Ca. Lokiarchaeota archaeon isolate CSSed165cm_327R1) among other microbes.[5][6]
