BACKGROUND  Cellulases and xylanases are the key enzymes involved in the conversion of lignocelluloses into fermentable sugars. Western Ghat region (India) has been recognized as an active hot spot for the isolation of new microorganisms. The aim of this work was to isolate new microorganisms producing cellulases and xylanases to be applied in brewer's spent grain saccharification.    RESULTS  93 microorganisms were isolated from Western Ghat and screened for the production of cellulase and xylanase activities. Fourteen cellulolytic and seven xylanolytic microorganisms were further screened in liquid culture. Particular attention was focused on the new isolate  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens   XR44A , producing xylanase activity up to 10.5 U  mL  −1 . A novel endo‐1,4‐beta xylanase was identified combining zymography and proteomics and recognized as the main enzyme responsible for  B. amyloliquefaciens   XR44A  xylanase activity. The new xylanase activity was partially characterized and its application in saccharification of brewer's spent grain, pretreated by aqueous ammonia soaking, was investigated.    CONCLUSION  The culture supernatant of  B. amyloliquefaciens   XR44A  with xylanase activity allowed a recovery of around 43% xylose during brewer's spent grain saccharification, similar to the value obtained with a commercial xylanase from  Trichoderma viride , and a maximum arabinose yield of 92%, around 2‐fold higher than that achieved with the commercial xylanase. © 2014 The Authors.
