Comparison of the Keratinase Gene Sequences of Fast, Slow and Intermediate Feather Degrading Strains of Bacillus licheniformis
Abstract: Feathers are composed of beta keratin which is an insoluble protein resistant to degradation. Bacillus licheniformis has a gene that codes for a keratinase enzyme that hydrolyzes feathers. The DNA sequences of the genes coding for keratinase enzymes of various strains of B. licheniformis were compared. Some strains of the bacteria hydrolyze feathers rapidly, some slowly, and some at an intermediate rate. The mature keratinase enzyme is composed of 274 …
