Daftar Isi:
  • The research had been done for four months (July to October, 2014). The aim of the research was to isolate xylan degraded bacteria from soil samples in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. Czapek agar with 3% xylan was chosen to be the medium. The observation done were visual observation of colonies and clearzone measurement. Four isolates of bacteria (A1, A2, B1 and B2) were isolated. The visual observation of colony has shown that all isolates were part of Actinomycetales. The clear zone obtained were of 1 to 3.3 mm wide. Further research is needed to identify the species of isolates. Keywords: Isolation, soil, xylan, Actinomycetales
