Isolation identification and characterization of feather degradable bacteria in Thanjavur (Dt)
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Feather waste are generated in large quantities as a byproduct of commercial poultry processing as well as through natural process. Feathers are made up of primarily keratin which is resistant to common proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin and papain. Environmental pollution and degradation of ecosystem have assumed significance owing to an increase in the accumulation of the wastes from industries, agriculture and poultry. In India, poultry feathers, animal hairs and other keratin sources are being thrown. Keeping this in mind, the present study was planned to isolate and identify the effective feather degrading bacterial organisms. The soil sample from Thanjavur Station was taken for isolation of bacterial colonies using Nutrient Agar Medium. The bacterial organisms were identified and the effective strain was used for further study.
