Degradation of various bird feathers by MBRL 575. a Comparison of degradation of different bird feathers by Bacillus sp. MBRL 575 (feather weight loss). MBRL 575 was grown in medium containing 1 % different feathers and kept incubated at 30 °C, 150 rpm for 48 h. Each point represents the mean of three independent experiments. b Release of soluble peptides and amino acid production per gram of different bird feathers by Bacillus sp. MBRL 575 after 48 h of incubation. Each point represents the mean of three independent experiments
