Abstract
Bacteroides xylanolyticus X5-1 is a Gram-negative motile xylanolytic bacterium, isolated from cattle manure (I.Scholten-Koerselman et al., 1986). It ferments xylan, but not cellulose to ethanol, acetate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide as the main end products. In addition, both C5 and C6 sugars are used for growth.
