Whole-genome analysis and enzymatic profiling of Bacillus spizizenii as a xylanase-producing source from Iran

Xylanases are crucial enzymes for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Despite extensive studies on microbial xylanase producers, the identification of new indigenous strains with enhanced enzyme activity remains a significant challenge. While there is some existing research on the isolation of xylanase-producing bacteria from Iran, our study specifically aimed to comprehensively isolate and characterize novel xylanase-producing bacterial strains from a diverse range of samples collecte
