AB  - The  microscopic and bulk properties  of  nuclear  matter  at  zero  and  finite temperatures are studied in  the  frame  of  the  Brueckner  theory. The results for the symmetry energy are also obtained using different potentials. The calculations  are  based  on  realistic  nucleon-nucleon  interactions  which  reproduce  the  nucleon-nucleon  phase shifts.  These  microscopic  approaches  are  supplemented  by  a  density-dependent  contact  interaction  to achieve the empirical saturation property of symmetric nuclear matter.  Special attention is paid to behavior of the effective mass in asymmetric nuclear matter. The nuclear symmetry potential at fixed nuclear density is also calculated and its value decreases with increasing the nucleon energy. The hot properties of nuclear matter are also calculated using T2-approximation at low temperatures. Good agreement is obtained in comparison with previous works around the saturation point.
