The process of degradation has been followed by microscopic observation and an analysis of the resulting amino-acids which accumulate in the medium after growth on human hair has been made by chromatographic techniques., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-8-2-289
