摘要：The work presents microbial community structure of Gumki cave for bioactive compound production. This cave represents a unique atmosphere which is totally different from outer atmosphere. Total 49 isolates were recovered from cave samples. Morphological and biochemical characterization revealed a community that contains nine genera of bacteria: Bacillus (27%), Paenibacillus (21%), Staphylococcus (20%), Streptococcus (16%), Salimicrobium (8%), Lysisnibacillus (2%), Aeromonas (2%), Proteus (2%) and Clostridium (2%). All these microbes were screened for different enzyme production and about 90% isolates displayed positive results for these enzymes. 75.51% recovered isolates were lipase producers, 47% were producing amylase and 24% and 12% bacteria produced protease and cellulase, respectively.
