Utilization of Biodegradable Keratin Containing Wastes by Enzymatic Treatment
Two novel feather-degrading fungi belonging to Chrysosporium and Microsporum genus were isolated from poultry waste in Goa, India. The fungi produced extra cellular keratinolytic enzyme in a feather meal broth using chicken feather as a sole of carbon and nitrogen source. Maximum enzyme activity was obtained within 96 h (150 U/ml and 90 U/ml for Chrysosporium and Microsporum respectively) of cu...
متن کاملStudies on Keratinolytic Activity of Alkaline Proteases from Halophilic Bacteria
Alkaline proteases producing halophilic bacteria isolated from Sambar Lake, Rajasthan were investigated for keratinolytic activity. The aim of this study was to optimize culture conditions for maximum enzyme production as well as characterization of proteases with keratinolytic action. Casein was used as sole carbon and nitrogen source for alkaline protease production at 37°C and 150 rpm. Highe...
متن کاملDetermination 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 کاملKeratinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Feather Waste
The aim of this study was to characterize keratinolytic bacteria isolated from feather waste. Four isolates were selected after growth on solid medium with feather meal as sole carbon and nitrogen source and screened for proteolytic activity on milk agar plates. Three isolates were Gram-negative (belonged to the genera Burkholderia, Chryseobacterium and Pseudomonas) and one was Gram-positive (M...
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...
