Bioprocessing of Used X-ray Films for Silver Recovery by Thermoalkaliphilic Protease from Thermus aquaticus YT-1
Abstract: An environmentally benign enzymatic method for recovery of silver and polyethylene from used X-ray films was developed. This industrially scalable enzymatic process for the recovery of silver was investigated using the thermophilic alkaline protease from Thermus aquaticus YT-1. The rate of gelatin hydrolysis of X-ray film increased with the temperature till 70 ºC, suggesting enzyme stability till 70 ºC. Further, pH 10 was optimum for this process. Transparent polyethylene film …

Chicken Feather Degradation Using Thermus aquaticus YT-1 and Application of Keratinolytic Protease Produced
Abstract: ABSTRACTAim of the study undertaken was to develop a process to manage chicken feather waste, without use of potential infectious microorganism. Biodegradation of chicken feather mediated by production of keratinolytic protease involving use of non- pathogenic thermophile Thermus aquaticus was investigated. The structural complexity of native chicken feather acts as inducer to increase protease production as compared to feather meal. The keratinolytic protease produced demonstrated more than 50 % stability …
