The present study showed unique properties of an alkaline, thermophilic lipase of Geobacillus sp. which was isolated from soil of hot spring. The study was aimed to investigate the optimum immobilization conditions of lipase onto silica gel matrix (100-200 mesh) by surface adsorption method and its application in the synthesis of methyl salicylate. Lipase immobilized by surface adsorption onto silica pretreated with 4% glutaraldehyde showed 74.67% binding of protein and the optimum binding time for glutaraldehyde was found to be 2 h. The enzyme showed maximum activity at temperature 55°C, incubation time of 10 min at pH 9.5 of Tris buffer (0.1 M). Free as well as immobilized lipase was more specific to p-NPP (20 mM). All the metal ions and detergents used had inhibitory effect on free as well as immobilized enzyme. The silica immobilized enzyme was reused for hydrolysis and it retained almost 40.78% of its original activity up to 4 th cycle. On optimizing different parameters such as molar ratio, incubation time, temperature, amount of enzyme, amount of molecular sieve, the % yield of methyl salicylate was found to be 82.94.
