Abstract Keratinase is a robust enzyme that produced in the presence of keratin substrates. This has been recognized for its applications waste management, leather and detergent industries. Our group isolated potential keratinase producing strain Bacillus aerius NSMk2 from poultry dump soil, hide dehairing stain removal have studied. Considering commercial applicability keratinase, present stud...

We report the isolation of a keratinolytic-producing Bacillus subtilis strain and the characterization of the exceptional dehairing properties of its subtilisin-like keratinase. This enzyme can be an alternative to sodium sulfide, the major pollutant from tanneries, and may completely replace it. Its unique nonactivity upon collagen enhances its industrial potential.

The complete genome sequence of Chryseobacterium camelliae Dolsongi-HT1 is reported here. C. camelliae Dolsongi-HT1, having keratinolytic activity, was isolated from green tea leaves in the Dolsongi tea garden in Jeju, South Korea. The strain Dolsongi-HT1 has 28 candidate protease genes, which may be utilized in further studies and industrial applications of keratinase.

Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi and the causative agent of dermatophytosis in animals people. In pathogenesis this disease, enzymes such as DNase, gelatinase, lipase, keratinase, elastase, collagenase highlighted. This work aimed to verify production these by clinical environmental isolates dermatophytes. Environmental strains were obtained Vanbreuseghem technique (1952), using soil samp...

Feathers are the most prevalent agricultural waste generated by chicken farms, polluting environment and wasting protein resources as a result of accumulation large amounts feathers. Therefore, keratinase-producing microorganisms represent promising potential technique for degradation feather waste. Streptomyces netropsis A-ICA Bacillus subtilis ALICA, previously isolated from rhizosphere deser...

results the pcr approved the bacillus genus of the isolates. the strain of bacillus subtilis was identified using biochemical tests. 40 ºc and ph 11 are the optimum condition for maximum keratinase enzyme activity. objectives the aim of this study was the isolation of feather degrading bacillus spp.from a poultry waste and the optimization of conditions for the highest enzyme activity and feath...

Keratinase is a specific proteolytic enzyme that degrades keratin. has wide applications in global industries. Bacillus sp. MD24 been reported to produce keratinase by solid-state fermentation method using chicken feathers as sole substrate. Furthermore, production could be elevated adding biomass waste (sugarcane bagasse, tofu waste, or rice husk) feathers. However, the ratio of addition was u...

background one group of significant enzymes produced by bacillus genus are alkaline proteases with several important applications in the daily life as well as common industries such as food, detergents, leather, alcohol and beer production and medical and sanitary industries, beside wastewater treatment, , biotransformation, hydrolyzed proteins and oil manufacturing. objectives in this paper, k...

Abstract Poultry industry is expanding rapidly and producing million tons of feather waste annually. Massive production keratinaceous byproducts in the form industrial wastes throughout world necessitates its justified utilization. Chemical treatment keratin proclaimed as an eco-destructive approach by various researchers since it generates secondary pollutants. Keratinase released a variety mi...

Strain T1E, isolated and identified as Brevibacillus thermoruber, and evolutionally distant from the known keratinolytic isolates, proved to have feather-degrading ability. During the 7-day fermentation period, T1E consumed 10 g/l native goose feathers as the sole source of carbon and energy at 50 degrees C under aerobic conditions. The isolate secreted a thermostable, keratinolytic protease, w...
