چکیده
Dermatophyte and yeast species have been screened for their degradative ability towards various keratin substrates. Application of soluble preparation of keratin (KS) of chicken feathers enables a preliminary evaluation of the growth of the fungi and screening of fungal isolates that possesed keratinolytic activity and keratinase enzyme. Five dermatophytes i.e. Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum canis and Chysosporium tropicum and two yeasts i.e. Candida albicans and Malassezia furfur were used in this study for keratinase activity. Out of five dermatophytes species and two yeast species studied, all tested fungal species showed a keratinase activity except one species i.e. M.canis. From findings, the results provide a scientific validation for the use of these microorganisms (dermatophytes and yeast species) for keratinase enzyme activity for the treatment of poultry waste and sewage waste water

The oxidative degradation of Procion Red MX-5B by solar Fenton’s has been investigated using sunlight as irradiation source in presence of hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+. Maximum decolorization (99%) and COD removal (97%) for MX-5B was obtained at H2O2 dose of 16.6 mM and at 30 min irradiation time. Fe2+ dose of 0.36 mM was optimum for Procion Red MX-5B degradation. The solar degradation mechanism ...
