Abstract
Keratinase produced from Streptomyces Sp.A11 decomposed human hair, chicken feather, wool, silk and pure keratin extracted from human epidermis. Purification of the enzyme by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography resulted in 7.5-fold increase in activity relative to the activity of the culture filtrate. The enzyme was inducible, extracellular, homogeneous with a molecular weight of 49,000. The enzyme activity was inhibited by reduced glutathione, phenylmethyl sulphonyl fluoride and 2-mercaptoethanol.Entities:
