ABSTRACT

Halophilic archaea are the microorganisms best adapted to life of extremes of salinity on earth. The desideratum to survive in extreme environments condition has provided haloarchaea with a sequence of components especially acclimated to work in such many conditions. Extreme environments occurrence several microbes producing novel bioactive compounds. The feasible application of bioactive molecules or compounds in pharmaceutical products and industrial fields has obtained increasing attention; however, there were many potential bioactivities of haloarchaea are still poorly explored. Here is the estimation of the antioxidant and bioactive potential of halophilic archaea. The acetone extract taken from the incipient isolated haloarchaea strain expressed the highest antioxidant activity, while the acetone extracts from isolated strains showed vigorous antimicrobial activity, especially against another halophilic group of microorganisms. The aqueous protein-rich extracts obtained from all haloarchaea express an important role in the activity of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme which is involved in the hydrolysis of cholinergic neurotransmitters and related to many neurological diseases. Keywords: Antioxidants, haloarchaea, bioactive potential
