substances into the environment. Concerning agriculture, the cropping systems are almost …

Billions of tons of keratinous waste in the form of feathers, antlers, bristles, claws, hair, hoofs,
horns, and wool are generated by different industries and their demolition causes …

The current study reported a new keratinolytic bacterium, which was characterized as
Bacillus paramycoides and identified by 16S rRNA, and the sequence was then deposited in …

Feathers, a waste product of poultry industries have highly recalcitrant structure and are a
rich source of organic nitrogen. The use of keratinolytic microbes for bioconversion of feather …

The accumulation of feather waste is a critical problem in solid waste management;
therefore, microbial management of waste is highly significant. Consequently, the …

Bacteria play a crucial role in almost all fields of biotechnology. Among them, industrial and
medical biotechnology are the fields that are highly dependent on bacteria and their …

Microbial-mediated sulfur metabolism is closely related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism
in natural biological systems. In this study, the effects of sulfur metabolism on microbial …

Keratin is a recalcitrant protein and can be decomposed in nature. However, the mechanism
of keratin degradation is still not well understood. In this study, Bacillus sp. 8A6 can …

Keratinase is a robust enzyme that is produced in the presence of keratin substrates. This
enzyme has been recognized for its applications in waste management, leather and …
