Abstract
Extracellular enzymatic activity profiles of thermophilic bacterial strains isolated from hotsprings of Namboli area of the Western coastal district of Maharashtra have been studied. Bacterial strains of spring water and sediments were enriched in various nutrient mediums and later isolated on the same with gelarite as the solidifying agent. About 98% of the isolates tested showed extracellular enzymatic activity. Out of all the isolates screened, 8 isolates exhibited protease, amylase and cellulase activities respectively.
