Alkaline keratinase from Bacillus sp. DRS4 efficiently biodegrades chicken feathers to synthesize improved keratin/bacterial nanocellulose-based bioplastics
Chicken feathers represent an abundant and sustainable resource that can be harnessed for multiple value-added products. Bioplastic reinforced with bacterial nanocellulose was synthesized using enzymatically digested chicken feathers. A highly efficient keratinolytic bacterium, identified as Bacillu...
