Production and Characterization of Keratinolytic Proteases Produced by Onygena corvina

Production and Characterization of Keratinolytic Proteases Produced by Onygena Corvina

Poultry farms produce huge quantities of feather waste that causes serious local disposal and accumulative problems and results in environmental pollution. Feathers are composed of β-keratin rich protein and are highly resistant to degradation. The feather degradation potential of the non-pathogenic fungus Onygena corvina was investigated by cultivating this fungus in a medium with duck feather...

Study on Activity and Stability of Proteases from Bacillus Sp. Produced by Submerged Fermentation

Objective: Investigations were carried out to isolate bacteria from saline-alkali soils and determined optimized alkaline protease activity and stability produced by a wild strain of bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation (SMF). Methods: Optimum temperature for enzyme activity in the crude extract was 40 ◦C at a pH between 8.0 and 9.0. The studies on pH stability showed that the enzyme...

Detection of the Keratinolytic Activity of Agriculture and Mount Barker Strain Dermatophilus congolensis Serine Proteases.

Studies 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...
