Solid state fermentation has been carried out using Bacillus halodurans KR-1 for the production of xylanase enzyme. Among different solid materials such as wheat straw, rice bran, wheat bran, soybean meal, wheat bran served as a very good inducer of xylanase. Maximum enzyme production of 33.3 U/gm was observed with wheat bran moisturized with water (1:1 ratio, w/v) and 10% size of inoculums (v/w) incubated at 40°C for 72h.
