  abstract = {{T}o date, xylanases have expanded their use in many processing industries, such as pulp, paper, food, and textile. {T}his study aimed the production and partial characterization of a thermostable xylanase from a novel thermophilic anaerobic bacterium {C}aldicoprobacter algeriensis strain {TH}7{C}1({T}) isolated from a northeast hot spring in {A}lgeria. {T}he obtained results showed that {C}. algeriensis xylanase seems not to be correlated with the biomass growth profile whereas the maximum enzyme production (140.0 {U}/ml) was recorded in stationary phase (18 h). {T}he temperature and p{H} for optimal activities were 70 {A} degrees {C} and 11.0, respectively. {T}he enzyme was found to be stable at 50, 60, 70, and 80 {A} degrees {C}, with a half-life of 10, 9, 8, and 4 h, respectively. {I}nfluence of metal ions on enzyme activity revealed that {C}a+2 enhances greatly the relative activity to 151.3 %; whereas {H}g2+ inhibited significantly the enzyme. {A}t the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the production of xylanase by the thermophilic bacterium {C}. algeriensis. {T}his thermo- and alkaline-tolerant xylanase could be used in pulp bleaching process.},
