Extracellular keratinase of some dermatophytes, their teleomorphs and related keratinolytic fungi
نویسنده
چکیده
Seven species of Microsporum, 4 of Trichophyton and 1 Epidermophyton including 55 species belonging to 33 genera were studied for extracellular keratinase. The preliminary screening was done as their ability to develop clearing zone formation. The keratinase of Microsporum species ranged from 50-300ku/ml and of Trichophyton 100-140ku/ml while that of Epidermophyton was 20ku/ml.

Based on previous screening for keratinolytic nonpathogenic fungi, Paecilomyces marquandii and Doratomyces microsporus were selected for production of potent keratinases. The enzymes were purified and their main biochemical characteristics were determined (molecular masses, optimal temperature and pH for keratinolytic activity, N-terminal amino acid sequences). Studies of substrate specificity ...

Sustainable development in the bio-treatment of large-scale biomass bulks requires high performance enzymes adapted to extreme conditions. An extracellular keratinolytic extract was obtained from the culture broth of a halotolerant strain of Salicola marasensis. Keratin hydrolyzing activity of the concentrated enzyme extract was observed on a 100 mg of pretreated feather waste...
