Unhairing process brought serious pollution, and enzyme application for replacing polluting chemicals in unhairing process attracted much attention in recent years. However, the unhairing enzymes haven’t been accepted widely in actual production due to low purity, complex composition and poor stability. To solve these problems, unhairing enzyme is suggested to be improved by genetic modification in this research. The High-keratinase-producing gene (KerT), which was extracted from B. amyloliquefaciens TCCC11319, was introduced into the B.subtilis WB600 by heterologous expression. Because Bacillus subtilis WB600 is deficient in six extracellular proteases, this process successfully reduced the collagenolytic protease content in crude broth as well as improved the keratinase content. Meantime, the recombinant KerT produced by B.subtilis WB600 had the obviously unhairing effect to remove hairs. The results showed that the collagen degradability of recombinant KerT was slightly and it did not cause any adverse effects on the hide quality. This research will contribute to the development of unhairing enzyme, and the novel unhairing enzyme might be applied as the key factor for the advanced cleaning biotechnology in leather production process.
Take-Away:
1. The keratinase gene KerT was firstly reported and analyzed which was extracted from B. amyloliquefaciens TCCC11319.
2. The collagenolytic protease activity of unhairing enzyme was successfully inhibited by heterologous expression of kerT.
3. The unhairing effect of this novel unhairing enzyme was similar to current Sulphur-lime method without damaging hide structure.
