Abstract:
This study on halocin production by Natrinema sp.BTSH10 indicate the
prospects for intensive research which could lead to discovery of novel halocins
which could have far reaching impact in biopharmaceutical industry particularly as
anticancer drug. It is also anticipated that further research on this halocin could lead
towards development of novel anticancer drug and new era in pharmaceutical
biotechnology. There is no doubt that haloarchaea from saltern ponds have immense
potential to return novel and valuable drugs and bioactive substances.
