ABSTRACT
The saltpan is the resource of cultivating halophilic microbes for their produce diverse metabolites. This study was characterized a total of sixteen halophilic bacteria from Marakanam Saltpan, Tamilnadu, India. Amongthis isolate only Six isolates having bioprospection such as the production of hydrolytic enzymes, pigments, antibiofilm, secondary metabolites. These are identified by molecular networking sequences showed the Bacillus aquqmaris and Bacillus velezensis. Secondary metabolites extracted from hexane solvent showed high antimicrobial activity against clinical pathogens. In GC-MS, FT-IR analysis was carried out for the checking of chemical compounds, Besides, all the isolates having great potential sources of biotechnological applications. Keywords: Saltpan, Hydrolytic Enzymes, Secondary Metabolites, Bio prospectors
