In nature, degradation of keratin is a partial sluggish process which results in the liberation of toxic sulfurous gases and residues, past solutions were either: mechanical; chemical; or physical treatment, which all were inadequate with immense energy waste and increased environmental toxicity.

Five isolates were chosen for further testing and analysis out of which two isolates (isolates 4 and 60) isolated from soil and sewage water respectively proved to persistently produce the largest quantity of keratinase, the two isolates were identified to be Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis by conventional techniques along with 16S-rRNA sequencingfluoride (PMSF), these findings augment the serine nature of isolated keratinases
