abstract={<b>PURPOSE: </b>The objective of this investigation was to isolation and screening of marine bacteria for L-asparaginase activity. <b>METHODS: </b>Marine bacteria were isolated from water samples obtained from Kerala sea coast in India. The isolates were identified as marine bacteria by microscopical and bio-chemical tests. Production of L-asparaginase was carried out in submerged fermentation media (glycerol asparagine media). <b>RESULTS: </b>Among three marine isolates subjected to screening only one isolate BKJM-VB showed potential L-asparaginase activity. <b>CONCLUSION: </b>The study revealed that marine bacteria may be a potential source of high yield, high substrate specificity L-asparaginase which is an anti-leukemic agent.},
