Characterization of Xylanase Produced by Bacillus pumilus Strain PJ19

Ainon Hamzah, Nooraini Abdulrashid

Abstract

Bacillus pumilus PJ19 isolated from Pinus leaves showed optimum xylanase production when grown in yeast tryptone broth at 37°C, pH 7.2, and shaken at 200 rpm after 48 h of incubation. Xylanase production was induced by xylan and xylose but repressed in the presence of glucose. Xylanase production by B. pumilus PJ19 was not growth-associated and the maximum enzyme production was found after 36 h of incubation.
