Halophilic and haloterant eubacteria have been isolated from different marine and hypersaline environments. Halophilic eubacteria also occur in environments typified by more than one soda lakes which are both hypersaline and extremely alkaline. These organisms have been shown to produce a wide array of hydrolytic enzymes including proteases, amylases, xylanases, cellulases as well as lipases and DNases. These enzymes are commonly applied in the production of fermented food and food supplements, in animal feed, laundry detergents and textile industries. Several studies have shown that enzymes derived from halophilic and halotolerant eubacteria are not only halostable but may also be thermostable and alkalistable. This extremophilicity make the enzymes suitable candidates in various fields of biotechnology and may even open up new application opportunities.
