Biotechnological Aspects and Perspective of Microbial Keratinase Production [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
Keratinases are proteolytic enzymes predominantly active when keratin substrates are available that attack disulfide bridges in the keratin to convert them from complex to simplified forms. Keratinases are essential in preparation of animal nutrients, protein supplements, leather manufacture, textile processing, detergent formulation, feather meal ...
