Characterization of xylanase from microbulbifer sp. CL37 for industrial applications

Xylan is the most abundant sugar in hemicellulose and can be found in plant biomass. Xylanase produced by microorganisms such as bacteria can be used in industries such as paper and pulp for deinking process. A halophilic bacterium, Microbulbifer sp. strain CL37, was previously isolated from mangrov...
