The arid regions are dry and have low water and nutrients content. The alkalinity and high salt concentration of the soil provides ideal conditions for thermophiles, alkalophiles and halophiles to flourish The adaptability and stability of the extremophilic bacteria (a thermophile, in the current study) is attributed to the thermophilic proteins with stable structure, complicated membrane lipids, and altered metal ions that increase the stability of the proteins The protein formed by halophiles is adjusted to a strong salt environment that encourages the folding of the riparophilic peptide chain and constitutes afunctional protein that regulates the enzymatic activity.

The arid regions are dry and have low water and nutrients content. The alkalinity and high salt concentration of the soil provides ideal conditions for thermophiles, alkalophiles and halophiles to flourish The adaptability and stability of the extremophilic bacteria (a thermophile, in the current study) is attributed to the thermophilic proteins with stable structure, complicated membrane lipids, and altered metal ions that increase the stability of the proteins The protein formed by halophiles is adjusted to a strong salt environment that encourages the folding of the riparophilic peptide chain and constitutes afunctional protein that regulates the enzymatic activity. The enzymes extracted from these extremophiles such as lipase, xylanase, pectinase, protease, amylase, catalase are high in demand for various industrial and biotechnological purposes. The current study focuses on the identification and characterization of thermophilic-halotolerant bacteria from soil samples of arid zones of Rajasthan Less...
