Abstract
The overview deals with freshwater actinobacteria - one of the dominant groups of the heterotrophic bacterioplankton, with their biology and ecology, with their role in the cycling of some main biogenic elements and in the transformation of recalcitrant organic compounds in freshwater reservoirs. Distinguishing features of the most abundant groups of planktonic freshwater actinobacteria, methods of isolation, of obtaining pure cultures and of further cultivation are considered. General and individual ecophysiological, phenotypic, genotypic and metabolic characteristics are given.
