    Keratin degradation by fungi isolated from the grounds of a gelatin factory in Jabalpur, India (1991)

    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’.

    Characteristics of extracellular proteases produced by Bacillus laterosporus and Flavobacterium sp. isolated from gelatinfactory effluents (1996)
    Springer
    World journal of microbiology and biotechnology 12 (1996), S. 615-617

    Notes: Abstract Forty bacterial isolates from the effluents of a gelatin factory (Jabalpur, India) were screened for protease activity and the two most potent producers were identified as Bacillus laterosporus and a Flavobacterium sp. The enzymes of both isolates were optimal at pH 8 and 60°C, with maximum activity after 90 min. The enzyme activity of B. laterosporus was suppressed by Fe2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ ions but was enhanced by Ba2+ and Ca2+. That of Flavobacterium sp. was suppressed by Mg2+ and Mn2+ ions but enhanced by Ba2+, Ca2+ and Fe2+. The enzyme activity of the former was strongly inhibited by KCN, whereas that of the latter was only slightly inhibited by 8-hydroxyquinoline.
