Novel Feather Degrading Keratinases from Bacillus cereus Group: Biochemical, Genetic and Bioinformatics Analysis

Abstract: In this study, five keratinolytic bacteria were isolated from poultry farm waste of Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. The highest keratinase activity was obtained at 40–45 °C, pH 8–9, feather concentration 0.5–1%, and using white chicken feather as keratin substrate for 72 h. Enhancement of keratinase activity through physical mutagen UV radiation and/or chemical mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) resulted in five mutants with 1.51–3.73-fold increased activity over the wild type. When compared with the wild ty… Show more

“…As a protease usually prefers to a cleavage site formed by specific residues, different types of proteases are needed to degrade keratin into amino acids completely (Qiu et al, 2020 ). Diverse proteases from different microorganisms have been identified with the molecular weights at the range from 20 to 130 kDa (Kanoksilapatham and Intagun, 2017 ; Sharma and Devi, 2018 ; Pinski et al, 2020 ; Qiu et al, 2020 ) and preference to various pHs, temperatures, and substrates (Tatineni et al, 2007 ; Tiwary and Gupta, 2010b ; Rai and Mukherjee, 2011 ; Khodayari and Kafilzadeh, 2018 ; Arokiyaraj et al, 2019 ; Nnolim et al, 2020a ; Almahasheer et al, 2022 ). Even the structures of the keratinases within the same protease family exhibit different folding and contain different structural elements ( Figure 3 ).…”

“…Among bacterial species, Bacillus licheniformis keratinases have been the most extensively studied and used, as bioadditives, in commercial keratinase-based formulations [ 7 ]. More recently, however, keratinases from other Bacillus species showing high levels of variability have grown in importance, owing to their ability to degrade keratin within short timelines [ 14 ]. The uniqueness of keratinases from different bacterial sources could be due to variations in protein sequence identity, molecular configuration, and the nature of conserved residues.…”

“…Diverse groups of microorganisms are reported to produce keratinases (Kalia and Purohit, 2008 ), such as numerous Bacillus sp. (Gupta and Singh, 2013 ; Gupta et al, 2015 ; Dong et al, 2017 ; Hamiche et al, 2019 ; Nnolim et al, 2020b ; Almahasheer et al, 2022 ; Devi et al, 2022 ; Mazotto et al, 2022 ), Aspergillus oryzae (Farag and Hassan, 2004 ), Paecilomyces marquandii and Doratomyces microsporum (Gradisar et al, 2005 ), Streptomyces sp. (Tatineni et al, 2008 ), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Cao et al, 2009 ), Myrothecium verrucaria (Moreira-Gasparin et al, 2009 ), Thermoactinomyces sp.…”
