An extracellular thermostable, haloalkaline cellulase by bioconversion of lignocellulosic wastes from Bacillus halodurans CAS 1 was purified to homogeneity with recovery of 12.54% and purity fold 7.96 with the molecular weight of 44 kDa. The optimum temperature, pH and NaCl for enzyme activity was determined as 60°C, 9.0 and 30% and it retained 80% of activity even at 80°C, 12 and 35% respectively. The activity was greatly inhibited by EDTA, indicating that it was a metalloenzyme and significant inhibition by PMSF revealed that serine residue was essential for catalytic activity. The purified cellulase hydrolyzed CMC, cellobiose and xylan, but not avicel, cellulose and PNPG. Furthermore, the cellulase was highly stable in the presence of detergents and organic solvents such as acetone, n-hexane and acetonitrile. Thus, the purified cellulase from B. halodurans utilizing lignocellulosic biomass could be greatly useful to develop industrial processes.

Treatment of oily wastewater is constantly a challenge; biological wastewater treatment is an effective, cheap and eco-friendly technology. A newly thermostable, haloalkaline, solvent tolerant and non-induced lipase from Aeribacillus pallidus designated as GPL was purified and characterized of biochemical and molecular study for apply in wastewater treatment. The GPL showed a maximum activity at 65°C and pH 10 after 22 h of incubation, with preference to TC4 substrates.

A thermophilic strain AMF-07, hydrolyzing carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was isolated from Kerman hot spring and was identified as based on 16S rRNA sequence homology. The carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) enzyme produced by the was purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single band on SDS- PAGE with a molecular weight of 37 kDa.

A new thermostable, haloalkaline, solvent stable SDS-induced serine protease was purified and characterized from a thermophilic Geobacillus toebii LBT 77 newly isolated from a Tunisian hot spring. This study reveals the potential of the protease from Geobacillus toebii LBT 77 as an additive to detergent with spectacular proprieties described for the first time. The protease was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by Sephadex G-75 and DEAE-Cellulose chromatography.

A total of 54 halophilic strains were isolated from crystallizer TS18 (26 strains) and non-crystallizer M1 (28 strains) ponds and screened for their ability to produce protease, amylase, and lipase activities. Enzymatic assays allowed the selection of thirty-two active strains, among them, the ETR14 strain from TS18 showed maximum protease production yields and therefore, selected for further analysis. The results from 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strain belonged to Halorubrum ezzemoulense (Hrr.
