ABSTRACT
The present study screened and identified bacteria from soil
samples having the ability to produce xylanase. Soil samples were collected
from different locations within umuahia. The 10 soil samples were cultured by
spread plate inoculation method on nutritrient agar, sabourand dextrose agar
and Tryptone soya agar media. Totally 10 bacteria were Isolated and tested for
the ability to produce xylanase. ISolate 1S51, IS61 and IS71 showed moderately
to highly ability to produce xylanase as indicated by the yellow zone size.
IS71 suspected to be Bacillus spp produced the highest size of yellow zone of
16mm, followed by IS51 (13mm) suspected to be Pseudomonas spp and IS61 (12mm)
suspected to be Micrococcus spp. These Isolates (IS7l, 1S51 and IS61) can be
used to boost industrial and agro-industrial processes requiring the enzme
xylanase soil samples could be an interesting source to explore for xylanase
producing actinomycetes and there IS not any scienctific report from the areas
of study.
