The aim of this study was to analyze and characterize the diversity of culturable thermotolerant bacteria in Manikaran hot springs. A total of 235 isolates were obtained employing different media, and screened for temperature tolerance (40 °C–70 °C). A set of 85 isolates tolerant to 45 °C or above were placed in 42 phylogenetic clusters after amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (16S rRNA-ARDRA). Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of 42 representative isolates followed by BLAST search revealed that the majority of isolates belonged to Firmicutes, followed by equal representation of Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria. Screening of representative isolates (42 ARDRA phylotypes) for amylase activity revealed that 26 % of the isolates were positive, while 45 % exhibited protease activity, among which one amylase and six protease producers were tolerant up to 70 °C. BIOLOG-based identification of 13 isolates exhibiting temperature tolerance up to 70 °C, using carbon utilization patterns and sensitivity to chemicals, revealed a high degree of correlation with identification based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing for all isolates, except one (M48). These promising isolates showing a range of useful metabolic attributes demand to be explored further for industrial and agricultural applications. Not Available |
