Abstract


The objective of this research was to isolate and identify the halophilic bacteria from Bledug Kuwu-mud
volacano having an ability to produce proteolytic enzyme. From this work, 6 bacterial isolates were obtained
from mud and water samples using artificial sea water media after incubation at room temperature. Three
out of the 6 isolates (BKL-3, BKL-5, and BKA-1) were selected for further analysis. BKL-3, BKL-5 and BKA-1
exhibited an ability to grow at salt concentration greater than 10%. BKL-3 could grow on media supplemented
with 15% of salt, meanwhile BKL-5 and BKA-1 could grow at 20% of salt, respectively. Furthermore, those
isolates also exhibited proteolytic activity when they were grown on casein media. The phylogenetic analysis
based on the 16SrRNA gene sequences showed that the BKL-3 belong to the group of Bacillaceae, whilst BKL-5
and BKA-1 isolates were relatively distance from the group of Halomonadaceae. Therefore, BKL-5 and BKA-1
could be considered as the allegedly new species that were separated from Halomonadaceae
