We isolated and analysed a Gram-negative, facultatively thermophilic, xylan-degrading bacterium that we designated as strain DA-C8 T . The strain was isolated from compost from Ishigaki Island, Japan, by enrichment culturing using beech wood xylan as the sole carbon source. The strain showed high xy...
