Effect of Keratin Hydrolysates Obtained from Feather Decomposition by Trichophyton ajelloi on Plant Germination, Growth and Biological Activity of Selected Arable Soils under Model Conditions
Abstract:The use of fertilizers based on organic waste as a result of microbial biodegradation and biotransformation is becoming increasingly common practice in plant cultivation. This is to limit the chemicals used in agriculture and thus protect the environment and consumer health. The aim of this study was to evaluate a hitherto unexplored effect of hydrolysates obtained after biodegradation of chicken feather waste by a soil strain of the keratinolytic fungus Trichophyton ajelloi on germination, early growth, and d… Show more
