Determination of keratin degradation by fungi using keratin azure.
Azure dye-impregnated sheep's wool keratin (keratin azure) was incorporated in a high pH medium and overlaid on a keratin-free basal medium. The release and diffusion of the azure dye into the lower layer indicated production of keratinase. Fifty-eight fungal taxa, including 49 members of the Arthrodermataceae, Gymnoascaceae and Onygenaceae (Order Onygenales), were assessed for keratin degradat...
متن کاملExtreme Degradation of Human Hair by Keratinophilic and Keratinolytic Fungi
Head hairs from a 19-year-old female murder victim, who had been buried for 36 years, were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmitted light microscopy. The hairs exhibited a range of biodeterioration artifacts. In some areas on the hairs, the cuticular scales were intact; in others, scales had become loosened; and in yet other areas, scales had been completely lost, exposing...
متن کاملDetermination of Keratinolytic Potential of Keratinolytic Fungi on Poultry Feather Samples Isolated from Selected Poultry Sites
The keratinolytic potential of the kearatinolytic fungi was determined by the release of protein by utilizing feather keratin. The total protein yield was found to be 430 ug mL -1 from Chrysosporium indicum, 410 ug mL -1 protein from Microsporum canis, 390 ug mL -1 protein from Crysosporium keratinophillum, 370 ug mL -1 protein from Microsporum gypseum, 360 ug mL -1 protein from Trichophyton ru...
متن کاملExamination of Keratinolytic and Associated Non-Keratinolytic Fungi in Sewage Sludge
Sewage sludge is frequently applied to land. It has been shown, however, that sludges contain many toxic components and pathogenic organisms. Keratinolytic and associated non-keratinolytic fungi are considered potentially pathogenic. Our knowledge on the incidence of the fungi in the sludge environment is still insufficient. Sludge from the Bytom-Miechowice wastewater treatment plant in Upper S...
متن کاملPlant Polysaccharide Degradation by Fungi
Plant biomass is the major carbon source for many fungal species. Due to its complex polymeric nature, degradation of this biomass to digestible monomers requires a large range of enzyme activities. With the availability of an increasing number of fungal genomes, new insights into the diversity of fungi with respect to plant biomass degradation have been obtained. Recent progress in this area w...
