A newly isolated strain of Halomonas sp. (HA1) exerts anticancer potential via induction of apoptosis and G/M arrest in hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell line.

Marine bacterial strains are of great interest for their ability to produce secondary metabolites with anticancer potentials. Isolation, identification, characterization and anticancer activities of isolated bacteria from El-Hamra Lake, Wadi El-Natrun (Egypt) were the objectives of this study. The isolated bacteria were identified as a moderately halophilic alkaliphilic strain.
