In order to isolate halotolerant bacteria with lipolytic activity from the Pilluana Salterns in San Martin, saline soil samples were collected and cultured in 5% salt water agar containing 0,5% yeast extract. It was pre-selected 55 bacteria with different morphological characteristics, these bacteria were grown simultaneously in 5% salt water agar containing 1% tributyrin, Tween 80 and olive oil. It was selected 14 bacteria based on the ability to hydrolyze specific substrates and shown high salt tolerance rate between 0 to 25%. These bacteria grew optimally at pH 7 and 37 °C, six were Gram positive and Gram negative eight, 12 bacteria hydrolyzed tributyrin, Tween 80 and olive oil, six produced amylases and proteases. The 14 halotolerant bacteria with lipolytic activity isolated from the Pilluana salterns are promising lipase production sources and oily waste bio-treatment.

The β-galactosidases (EC3.2.1.23) are glycosyl hydrolases which mainly catalyze the hydrolysis of β-D-galactosides in various types of microorganisms, which are used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides. One of the potential sources for the production of enzymes that show these characteristics are microorganisms from extreme environments, such as salt brine. In this study, was cloned and characterized the betagalactosidase gene from Bacillus sp MSP7 isolated from Pilluana saltern in San Martin, Peru, because it shown enzymatic activity of 65 U/mg dried cells, the greatest activity than other four Bacillus sp. strains isolated from same village. For this, specific primers were designed from regions of consensus amino acid sequences of the Bacillus genus from available betagaltosidase sequences in data banks. Betagalactsidase gene of Bacillus sp. MSP7 was amplified by polymerase chain re...
