Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, identification, and characterization of a feather-degrading bacterium.
TL;DR: A feather-degrading culture was enriched with isolates from a poultry waste digestor and adapted to grow with feathers as its primary source of carbon, sulfur, and energy, indicating a potential biotechnique for degradation and utilization of feather keratin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of keratin waste: Theory and practical aspects
TL;DR: This study reviews the current knowledge on the ecology and physiology of keratinolytic microorganisms and presents the biodegradation mechanism of native keratin, and methods of keratin waste biotransformation into products of practical industrial and natural value, especially composts, are discussed.

Bacterial Keratinases: Useful Enzymes for Bioprocessing Agroindustrial Wastes and Beyond
TL;DR: The use of keratinases to enhance drug delivery in some tissues and hydrolysis of prion proteins arise as novel outstanding applications for these enzymes.
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.

On the determination of cystine as cysteic acid.
TL;DR: In this article, a reduction agent was used to destroy the excess performic acid before the initial reaction, and the subsequent exposure of cysteic acid residues to bromine would not be likely to be detrimental.
