HYDROLASE ACTIVITY OF ANTARCTIC BACILLI

Strains of bacteria were isolated from Antarctica soil after identification they were attributed to genus Bacillus . The opportunity of participation of isolated bacilli in the degradation of various natural substrates has been studied.It is supposed that such natural extreme habitat as Antarctic Region is not ca- sual for the investigated bacteria and displays universality of their vital system. It is shown that Antarctic strains of bacteria are capable to produce hydrolytic enzymes complexes - cellulases, xylanases, pectinases and lipases and are the perspective cultures for using in biotechnology
