Feathers are commonly disposed by land filing which causes environmental pollution and local trouble such as bad odour, etc. Traditional ways to degrade feathers such as alkali hydrolysis and steam pressure cooking but these techniques consume huge amounts of energy and time. There is an urgent requiring for new innovations enabling ecological and economical valorization of this chicken feather waste. Hence the present investigation exhibited “Biodegradation of chicken feathers by isolate Pseudomonas from road side dumping site at Aruppukottai town’’ has been carried out.
