Twenty-nine halophilic bacterial strains were isolated from five saline soil samples around the lake and were preliminarily screened for the production of nine industrially relevant enzymes and antimicrobial activities. The enzymatic screening revealed that 69% of the isolates showed single or combined hydrolytic activities, with gelatinase, protease, inulinase, and lipase activities being the most prevalent. The antimicrobial screening showed significant activity against Gram-positive pathogens, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium sp., and Phytophthora infestans.

Furthermore, they showed broad antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, with MICs ranging from 500 to 31.25 µg/mL. The GC-MS analysis of the potent extracts revealed that a wide range of compounds including Phenolics, Peptides, Ergot alkaloids and their derivates may have contributed to anti-mycobacterial activity.
