Microbial Exploitation of Feather Wastes for Sustainable Production of Keratinase and Collagenase Enzymes by Didymella keratinophila AUMC 15399 in Submerged Fermentation

Abstract

A distinctive isolate was discovered and visually recognized as a member of the genus Didymella during a routine examination of Coelomycetes isolated from diverse fruit juices. Based on sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the fungus was identified as Didymella keratinophila since it showed a 100% identity to the type strain. The strain thrived and produced keratinase and collagenase enzymes by hydrolyzing native chicken feathers in submerged fermentation (SmF). After 10 days of fermentation at 30 °C, pH 9 using sodium nitrate as a nitrogen supply produced the highest keratinase activity of 8780 ± 620 U/mL/min, while pH 6 and beef extract produced the maximum collagenase activity of 11,230 ± 1290 U/mL/min. The partially-purified keratinase enzyme worked best at pH 7.0 and 45 °C, exhibiting a specific activity of 44,903 ± 1555 U/mg protein. The activity of the partially-purified collagenase enzyme was excellent at pH 6.0 at 35 °C, generating 15,753 ± 110 U/mg enzyme-specific activity. Mn2+ and K+ were the most efficient inhibitors of keratinases and collagenase, respectively. Both EDTA and metal ions significantly decreased the activity of keratinase and collagenase. This report identified a workable supplier of collagenase and keratinase enzymes derived from chicken feathers, offering a reliable way to exploit and manage these wastes for obtaining high-value products.
