A total of 842 spore-forming bacterial strains were isolated from 221 animal feces samples, in which a new feather-degrading bacterium identified as Bacillus sp. 50-3 was isolated from Calotes versicolor (an agamid lizard) feces based on morphological, biochemical, and 16S rDNA tests. The bacterium degraded native feathers completely at mild conditions and in much shorter time (36 h) when chicken feathers were applied as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. The maximum keratinase activity and the optimum reaction time were 680 ± 25 U/ml and 36 h respectively at 37°C and pH 7.0 in feather meal medium. The optimal keratinase concentration of Bacillus sp. 50-3 with feather keratin as substrate was 1.0 % (w/v). The high efficiency of Bacillus sp. 50-3 in feather degradation suggests its potential applications in biotechnological processes, especially in decreasing environmental pollution.
