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...
