Culturable bacterial biodiversity and industrial importance of the isolates indigenous to Khewra salt mine, Pakistan was assessed. PCR Amplification of 16S rDNA of isolates was carried out by using universal primers FD1 and rP1and products were sequenced commercially. These gene sequences were compared with other gene sequences in the GenBank databases to find the closely related sequences. The alignment of these sequences with sequences available from GenBank database was carried out to construct a phylogenetic tree for these bacteria. These genes were deposited to GenBank and accession numbers were obtained. Most of the isolates belonged to different species of genus Bacillus, sharing 92-99% 16S rDNA identity with the respective type strain. Other isolates had close similarities with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus arlettae and Staphylococcus gallinarum with 97%, 98% and 99% 16S rDNA similarity respectively. The abilities of isolates to produce industrial enzymes (amylase, carboxymethylcellulase, xylanase, cellulase and protease) were checked. All isolates were tested against starch, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), xylane, cellulose, and casein degradation in plate assays. BPT-5, 11,18,19 and 25 indicated the production of copious amounts of carbohydrates and protein degrading enzymes. Based on this study it can be concluded that Khewra salt mine is populated with diverse bacterial groups, which are potential source of industrial enzymes for commercial applications. Avaliou-se a biodiversidade e a importância industrial de bactérias indígenas da mina de sal Khewra, Paquistão. Efetuou-se a amplificação do 16S rDNA dos isolados por PCR empregando-se os iniciadores universais FD1 e rP1, e os produtos foram seqüenciados comercialmente. Essas seqüências de genes foram comparadas com outras seqüências disponíveis no GenBank a fim de encontrar seqüências relacionadas, construindo-se uma árvore filogenética para essas bactérias. Os genes foram depositados no GenBank obtendo-se os números de acesso. A maioria dos isolados pertenceu a diferentes espécies do gênero Bacillus, apresentando 92-99% de identidade de 16S rDNA com a respectiva cepa de referencia. Outros isolados apresentaram alta similaridade com Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus arlettae e Staphylococcus gallinarum, com 97%, 98% e 99% de similaridade de16S rDNA, respectivamente. A capacidade dos isolados produzirem enzimas industriais (amilase, carboximetilcelulase, xilanase, celulase e protease) foi verificada. Todos os isolados foram testados em placas quanto a degradação de amido, carboximetilcelulose, xilana, celulose e caseína. Os isolados BPT-5, 11, 18, 19 e 25 produziram grandes quantidades de enzimas degradadoras de carboidratos e proteínas. Conclui-se que a mina de Sal Khewra apresenta diferentes grupos de bactérias, que são fontes potenciais de enzimas industriais de aplicação comercial
