Studies on the decomposition of keratin waste by saprotrophic microfungi. III. Activity and properties of keratinolytic enzymes

Teresa Korniłowicz-Kowalska

Abstract


It has been proved that saprotrophic keratinolytic fungi produced keratinolytic extra- and intracellular proteases during the process of decmposition of crude keratin waste (feathers). Some properties of these enzymes were studied (Korniłłowicz-Kowalska 1997a, 1977b).

Keywords
