Article Synopsis
- Feathers, often discarded by poultry industries, and X-ray films can be repurposed through protease production from the freshwater bacterium SARJS-2, leading to more sustainable practices.
- Optimization techniques like one-factor-at-a-time, Plackett Burman design, and response surface methodology significantly increased protease activity, which is effective in temperature ranges up to 75 °C and compatible with detergents.
- The protease shows promise for practical applications such as stain removal, feather degradation for fertilizer and animal feed, and silver recovery from X-ray films, positioning it as an eco-friendly solution for various industries.
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an excellent natural biopolymer with wide range of applications. The present study reports a potential BC producing thermophile, identified as Bacillus licheniformis strain ZBT2. The thermophile produced pellicle form of BC (3.
