Feather hydrolysates promoted vegetable growth and enhanced antioxidants
Application of bacterial feather hydrolysates as biofertilizers in growing leafy vegetables: yield, nutritional, phytochemical, antioxidant and hepatoprotective profiles
- 28 August 2023

In 2023, we showed that feather hydrolysates promoted the growth of vegetables on the field and improved their functional properties........

The present study reports the application of feather hydrolysates (FHs) obtained from the hydrolysis of chicken feathers by Bacillus safensis LAU 13 (KJ461434) and Aquamicrobium defluvii FH 20 (OM281847.1) as organic nitrogen fertilizer for the cultivation of Corchorus olitorius, Celosia argentea and Amaranthus caudatus

Feather hydrolysates promoted vegetable growth
Valorization of Feather by Bacillus safensis and Aquamicrobium defluvii for Growth Promotion in Leafy Vegetables
- 28 August 2023

In 2020, we reported a keratinolytic strain of Aquamicrobium defluvii for the first time......

This study assessed novel keratinolytic bacteria for feather valorization to yield feather hydrolysates (FHs) to cultivate vegetables. Bacterial degradation of feather was determined through production of keratinase. Corchorus olitorius (Jute mallow), Celosia argentea (Cockscomb), and Amaranthus caudatus (Pendant amaranth) were grown with FHs through soil-less and pot experiments.
