DISTRIBUTION OF KERATINOPHILIC FUNGI IN VARIOUS SOIL SAMPLES: A REVIEW

Keratinophilic fungi present in soil which are responsible for the degradation of keratin containing wastes such as hair, fur, hoof and feather. Therefore Keratinophilic fungi plays significant role in decomposition of debris. The distribution of Keratinophilic fungi is highly variable, which depends largely on ecological conditions. We have also highlighted the role of these fungi in keratin degrading ability. Their substantial keratinolytic activity is highly appreciable in cleaning of environment.
