Antimicrobial potential of haloalkaliphilic Nocardiopsis sp. AJ1 isolated from solar salterns in India.

Antagonistic haloalkaliphilic Nocardiopsis sp. AJ1 (GenBank JX575136.1), isolated and identified from the saline soil of Kovalam solar salterns was able to produce antimicrobial secondary metabolites and effectively suppressed several bacterial and fungal pathogens.

Haloalkaliphilic Streptomyces spp. AJ8 isolated from solar salt works and its' pharmacological potential.

Antagonistic Streptomyces spp. AJ8 was isolated and identified from the Kovalam solar salt works in India. The antimicrobial NRPS cluster gene was characterized by PCR, sequencing and predict the secondary structure analysis.

Halomonas sp. BS4, A biosurfactant producing halophilic bacterium isolated from solar salt works in India and their biomedical importance.

Halophilic bacteria were isolated from Thamaraikulam solar salt works in India. After routine biosurfactant screening by various methods, the biosurfactant producing bacteria, Halomonas sp BS4 was confirmed by 16 S rRNA sequencing. The growth optimization of Halomonas sp BS4 revealed their optimum growth at 8% NaCl and 6-8 pH in the growth medium.
