Xylanase gene from a locally isolated bacterium

A xylanolytic bacterium was isolated from sago plantation humus. Results from the morphological observation, biochemical tests and 16s rRNA sequencing suggested the bacterium to be Klebsiella pneumoniae. Due to the xylanolytic activity of this bacterium, isolation and characterization of the xylan...
