We studied the microbial community-based degradation of keratin, a recalcitrant biological material, by four well-characterized synergistic soil isolates, which have previously been shown to display synergistic interactions during biofilm formation; Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, Xanthomonas retroflex...

Chicken feathers constitute a major waste in poultry processing due to their resistance to degradation. Microbial degradation offers a promising solution for enhancing the utilization of feather waste. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying microbial feather degradation remain poorly unders...

Keratin-rich byproducts from the poultry, textile, and leather industries pose a significant challenge for sustainable waste management due to their highly recalcitrant nature. While microbial degradation may offer a viable solution, the mechanisms underlying keratin breakdown remain largely unexplo...

Dermatophytes are highly specialized filamentous fungi which cause the majority of superficial mycoses in humans and animals. The high secreted proteolytic activity of these microorganisms during growth on proteins is assumed to be linked with their particular ability to exclusively infect keratiniz...
ORGANISM(S): Trichophyton rubrum 
Although dermatophytes are the most common agents of superficial mycoses in humans and animals, the molecular basis of the pathogenicity of these fungi is largely unknown. In vitro digestion of keratin by dermatophytes is associated with the secretion of multiple proteases, which are assumed to be r...
ORGANISM(S): Arthroderma benhamiae 
Firmicutes and dermatophytes degrade recalcitrant insoluble keratins resistant to proteolysis. Such highly ordered peptide fibrils can be digested through proteolysis as well as sulfitolysis. However, its biological mechanism relevant to keratin degradation remains unclear. Here we present genome-wi...
