In this optimization study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa SU-1 was producing keratinase at optimal condition of 4 days, pH – 7 and temperature 37 0C, where it was producing 23.7 U/mL After the one factor at a time, RSM was performed to understand the combination of the physical parameter that ends up for the maximum production of keratinase enzyme and the degradation percentage. The study involved in three variables (pH(A), temperature(B) and Incubation Design (C)) in three ranges (-1,0,+1) using Box-Behnken Design (BBD). The results of the analysis of variance and regression analysis of the second order model showed that the factorial effect if the degradation. The optima of the variables pH - 7, temperature - 30 and incubation time – 4 days. The isolated Pseudomonas species was subjected to feather degradation for 4 days and it was degrading 55.26 %. Keratinase was to be size of 56KDa.
