Xylanase from Bacillus sp. GS was purified through acetone precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The optimum reaction temperature of purified xylanase was 50t . Its optimum pH was between pH 6.0 and pH 6.5. This enzyme was stable below 5$0^{circ}C$ for several hours and stable at between pH 5.5 and pH 8.0. The enzyme activity of xylanase was remarkably increased by Co++ and Cu++ ions. According to the study of hydrolysis mode of this enzyme, it was turned out to be ends type xylanase that can produce xylooligosaccharides, known as bifidogenic factor, from xylan.
