Here, we report a xylanase with thermophilic character and superior biochemical properties for industrial use. The new xylanase is discovered in <em>Anoxybacillus ayderensis</em> as an intracellular xylanase <em>(AAy</em>XYN329) and recombinantly produced. While <em>AAy</em>XYN329 shows significant activity over a wide pH and temperature range, optimum activity conditions were determined as pH 6.5 and 65 °C. The half-life of the enzyme was calculated as 72 h at 65 °C. The enzyme did not lose activity between pH 6.0–9.0 at +4 °C for 75 days. <em>Km</em>, <em>kcat</em> and <em>kcat</em>/<em>Km</em> values of <em>AAy</em>XYN329 were calculated as 4.09824 ± 0.2245 μg/μL, 96.75 1/sec, and 23.61/L/g.s <sup>−1</sup>, respectively.

Nine chimeras with different degrees of solubility were selected and expressed in <em>E. coli</em> BL21 (DE3). Western blot assays with anti-6x-His and anti-chagasin antibodies confirmed the expression of soluble recombinant chimeras. Both theoretically and experimentally, the Q12 (E5-E3) chimera was the most soluble, and the Q20 (E4-E5) the most insoluble protein. Q4 (E5-E1) and Q8 (E5-E2) chimeras were classified as proteins with medium solubility that exhibited the highest yield in the soluble fraction. Notably, Q4 has a yield of 239 mg/L, well above the yield of recombinant chagasin (16.5 mg/L) expressed in a soluble form. The expression of the Q4 chimera was scaled up to a 7 L fermenter obtaining a yield of 490 mg/L.
