Keratinase Activity of A Newly Keratinolytic Bacteria, Azotobacter chroococcum B4

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Keratinase is a proteolytic enzyme capable on degrading the hardy polymeric biomolecule or keratin. In recent days, the utilization of keratinolytic microorganisms is seen as a promising way in recycling the keratin wastes from the avian and mammalians
