Study Of Physiological And Biochemical Analysis Of Water Sample Of Lonar Lake For Isolation Of Alkaline Bacillus Species Prodcing L-Asparginase

The Lonar crater has been proved to be caused by an Aerolite Meteor (contain mainly rocky material) because no metal fragments have been found strewn around the crater. The pH values generally higher than 10 and occasionally reaching 12. The aim of the present study was to analyze in physico-chemical quality of Lonar lake water and soil. Lonar Lake is a closed one without any outlet and unique due to its salinity, alkalinity and biodiversity. Water is the most vital abiotic component of the lake ecosystem and while studying the biodiversity of any lake ecosystem, the Knowledge of the physicochemical quality of lake water becomes important for production of different enzymes important industrially and pharmaceutically. The physicochemical character of water prevailing in this lake has not been studied in detail with reference to the organisms isolated to produce industrially and pharmaceutically important enzymes viz, L-asparginase, Amylase, CGTase. In the Industrial processes the enzymes might get inactivated at higher pH, So if the organism producing the enzyme is extremophilic then the enzyme might not get inactivated. Therefore it was thought to undertake studies on physicochemical quality of water and in Lonar Lake; and it was seen that chlorides and salinity of the Lake water is decreasing day by day, but the biodiversity of the lonar lake is increasing as we found presence of some microorganisms i.e. Some Bacillus species, Some Lysinibacillus species and Some Pseudomonas species.
