Isolation of xylan degrading microorganism from local hot spring

The purpose of this study was to isolate xylan-degrading microorganisms from local hot spring. The samples were taken from a local hot spring at Sungai Klah, Perak. They were screened for the best xylan degrader by using selective culture media. Then, the xylan degrader microorganism was characteriz...

The samples were taken from a local hot spring at Sungai Klah, Perak. They were screened for the best xylan degrader by using selective culture media.

The morphology of the microorganism was observed after all the staining was done by observing the changes of the staining colour. Based on the results, the microorganism was in rod shaped for simple staining, gram negative for gram staining, positive results for both spore and acid-fast staining.
