Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Novel Industrially Promising Keratinase Isolated from Aspergillus aureolatus Changes its Substrate Specificity after pH-Mediated AutolysisArina Mokhova, Anna ShestakovaMicrobial proteolytic enzymes are green catalysts with many potential applications. Keratinolytic enzymes (or keratinases) are crucial for efficient keratin degradation, making them essential in waste management, biomedicine, cosmetics, and various industrial applications. This study describes the production and characterization of a protease with keratinolytic activity from Aspergillus aureolatus. The protease was isolated from the culture fluid on the 5th day … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2025 · 5,580 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Keratinolytic Activity Succeeds by Keratinophilic Fungi in Jaipur, IndiaVishnu Sharma, Anima Sharma, Ruchi SethEarth has innate background for fungi that cover individual kingdom since evolution. The keratinophilic fungi are allied moulds that produce the keratinase enzyme to degrade the keratinous materials in or on the soil. Keratinous materials are insoluble and resistant to degradation by common proteinase enzymes. It is important to study the microorganism producers of such enzymes for use in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacteristics of Feather Protein Concentrates Hydrolyzed Using Bacillus subtilis FNCC 0059Muhammad Irfan Said, Effendi Abustam, Farida Nur Yuliati, Muhammad Zain MideFermentation technology is one technology that can be applied in the process of hydrolysis and decomposition of keratin protein in chicken feather waste. The fermentation technology can use microbial bacteria as a decomposer to improve the digestibility of the Feather Waste (FW). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the properties of chicken feather waste and Feather Protein Concentrate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 5 Jan 2018 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Feather Concentrate from Broiler Feather Waste using Different Chemical Hydrolysis Process and Effect on Its PropertiesMuhammad Irfan Said, Effendi Abustam, Wempie Pakiding et al.Feather waste, a resultant of livestock industry, has annually increased, but its existence has not been optimally utilized. Production of feather concentrate (Fc) is regarded a beneficial application to minimze the waste. The objective of the study was to evaluate the use of NaOH and HCl as a hydrolyzing agent in Fc preparation. The results showed that microstructural changes occurred … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 25 Jan 2018 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpigenetic Regulation of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Skin Aging: Mechanisms and InteractionsJiguang Yang, Yusong Shi, Xiaoqing YanSkin aging results from complex interactions between genetic factors, environmental stressors, and epigenetic modifications that regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Accumulation of senescent cells impairs tissue regeneration through mechanisms including telomere shortening, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. While epigenetic pathways regulate skin homeostasis, regeneration, and senescence, the specific epigenetic changes occurring during UV exposure, chronological aging, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of the Antimicrobial Activity of Some Microbial EnzymesAkram N. Salah, Hayam Atallah AlwabsiEnzymes are substances produced by living organisms that are used to catalyze some biological and biochemical reactions as they either catalyze some types of polysaccharides and proteins or lyse complex materials such as polymers and lipids. Microbial enzymes are defined as the enzymes that can be extracted and purified from bacterial strains such as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces, or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2024 · 6,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWound Healing Activity of Chlorogenic Acid in Diabetic Rats is Mediated Through Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Proliferative EffectsAbdullah Abdulrahman Al-Ghanayem, Mohammed Sanad Alhussaini, AbdulRahman Abdulla Ibrahim Alyahya et al.Chlorogenic acid is known to have antibacterial action against a number of pathogens. This study provides insights into the potentiality of chlorogenic acid in the treatment of chronic infection in wounds. The anti-infective and healing effect of chlorogenic acid in infected wounds was evaluated using diabetic rats. Antibacterial activity of chlorogenic acid against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 21 Jan 2024 · 6,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmune Response, Detection of IgE and PGE2 during Vaginal Candidiasis in MiceRosymar Coutinho Lucas, Rafael Taglialegna, Carolina Nunes França et al.Vulvovaginal candidiasis is an opportunistic infection that affects most women in adult life, but the defense mechanism remains to be elucidated. Animals treated with estradiol were inoculated with Candida albicans having high virulence power. The experimental control consisted of animal groups treated with estradiol and animals without treatment that were inoculated with physiologic serum. The vaginal wall was collected, at … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 14 Jul 2016 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Short-Term Canine Full-Thickness Skin Organ Culture Method under Serum-Free ConditionsFrancesca Abramo, Andrea Pirone, Carla Lenzi et al.Full-thickness canine skin organ culture models could provide an entirely new opportunity for studying wound healing, keratinization disorders and allergic skin diseases, all of which have high prevalence and severe impact on canine quality of life.
