Medium optimization for keratinase production by a local Streptomyces sp. NRC 13S under solid state fermentation

Abstract: Thirteen different Streptomyces isolates were evaluated for their ability to produce keratinase using chicken feather as a sole carbon and nitrogen sources under solid state fermentation (SSF). Streptomyces sp. NRC 13S produced the highest keratinase activity [1,792 U/g fermented substrate (fs)]. The phenotypic characterization and analysis of 16S rDNA sequencing of the isolate were studied. Optimization of SSF medium for keratinase production by the local isolate, Streptomyces sp. NRC13S, was carried out usin… Show more

“…Mazotto,et.al.,[17], showed that the better nitrogen and carbon source for keratinase production from Aspergillus niger was keratin. Other studies that employed other sugars like; starch, sorbitol, lactose, maltose, and sucrose also found increased alkaline keratinase production [9,13,16], suggesting that the optimum carbon source for enzyme production varies depending on the kind of microbe.…”

“…The usual way of handling a dead chicken is by combustion or incineration, burial, composting (for fertilizer) and processing as raw materials for animal or fish (Shata and Farid, 2013). In addition, a technology that is also quite appropriate for the handling of dead chickens is the fermentation technology.…”
