Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a new keratinolytic bacterium that completely degrades native feather keratin.
TL;DR: A novel feather-degrading microorganism was isolated from poultry waste, producing a high keratinolytic activity when cultured on broth containing native feather, and complete feather degradation was achieved during cultivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a protease of a feather‐degrading Microbacterium species
TL;DR: Aims: To characterize a new feather‐degrading bacterium.
High Diversity among Feather-Degrading Bacteria from a Dry
TL;DR: In this article, the diversity of cultivable bacteria able to degrade feathers and present in soil under temperate climate was determined by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA gene fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
High diversity among feather-degrading bacteria from a dry meadow soil.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of cultivable bacteria able to degrade feathers and present in soil under temperate climate and keratinase activities across the 13 strains were positively correlated with the percentage of feather fragmentation and protein concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental factors shape cloacal bacterial assemblages in great tit Parus major and blue tit P. caeruleus nestlings
Françoise S. Lucas,Philipp Heeb +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that growth conditions within nests and individually based endogenous factors have significant effects on cloacal bacteria assemblages and could affect post-fledging condition.
