Mudiak Sapan hot spring, South Solok Regency, West Sumatra is one of the hot springs where there are various species of thermophilic bacteria that produce xylanase enzymes. The xylanase enzyme is a group of enzymes that has the ability to hydrolyze xylan (hemicellulose) or polymers into xylose and xylo-oligosaccharides. The purpose of this study was to test the compatibility of bacterial isolates to become a xylanase-producing bacterial consortium. This research is a descriptive research that informs the compatibility of thermophilic bacterial isolates from the Mudiak Sapan hot springs. The method used in this study was disk diffusion, based on the research, it was found that 5 combinations of compatible xylanase enzyme-producing isolates were MS18 x MSS11; MS18 x MSS15; MSS18 x MS16 ; MSS11 x MS16 ; MSS15 x MS16 and 1 combination of incompatible isolates namely MSS11 x MSS15 which had an inhibition zone of 0.645 cm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
