    Notes: Abstract The ability of five keratinophilic fungi, i.e., Chrysosporium indicum, Geotrichum candidum, Gymnoascoideus petalosporus, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, and Talaromyces trachyspermus, to digest human hair keratin in stationary culture has been studied. Degradation of human scalp hair was studied by determination of cysteine, cystine, inorganic sulfate, thiosulfate, total protein, keratinase and change in alkalinity of culture filtrate. Gymnoascoideus petalosporus showed maximum degradation as compared to remaining isolates when grown on human scalp hair as the sole source of nutrients ‘in vitro’.

    Notes: Abstract Two extracellular keratinases of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were purified and partially characterized. The enzymes were isolated by the techniques of gel filtration chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). These keratinases (K I & K II) were purified approximately 33 and 29 fold, respectively. SDS-PAGE of the products of gel filtration chromatography (K I & II) produced only one band each, suggesting homogeneity. The optimum pH for both keratinases was 7.8, while the optimum temperatures were 40°C (K I) and 35°C (K II). Estimated molecular weights were 40–45 KDa and 24–29 KDa for K I & K II respectively. Both keratinases were inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride which suggests a serine residue at or near an active site.
