Thermostable α-galactosidase fromThermotoga neapolitana: cloning, sequencing and expression [PDF]
A gene encoding a thermostable alpha-galactosidase from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga neapolitana was cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis showed that the 552-amino acid protein is similar to Escherichia coli Raf type alpha-galactosidase and belongs to Family 36 of the glycosyl hydrolases. Recombinant alpha-galactosidase expressed in E. coli has a

Yersinia pestis lacZexpresses a β-galactosidase with low enzymatic activity [PDF]
Although very little, if any, beta-galactosidase activity is detected in Yersinia pestis by a standard Miller assay, we found that Y. pestis KIM6+ cells formed blue colonies on plates containing 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactoside (X-gal). Searches of the Y.

Purification and molecular properties of an α-galactosidase synthesized and secreted byAspergillus nidulans [PDF]
alpha-Galactosidases from mycelial extract and culture filtrate of Aspergillus nidulans have been purified to homogeneity and utilised to obtain polyclonal antibodies anti-alpha-galactosidase. The enzymatic characteristics and the cross reactivity of the antibodies suggest that alpha-galactosidases isolated from the two sources were the same enzyme ...

A food-grade vector for Streptococcus thermophilus based on the α-complementation of β-galactosidase
: Streptococcus thermophilus is a common yogurt starter that consumes lactose as its primary carbon source. The enzyme β-galactosidase is essential for the lactose metabolism and the growth of this species.

Expression of β-galactosidase inRhizobium japonicum [PDF]
The plasmid pGC91.14 was used to introduce via conjugation the Escherichia coli lac operon into fast-growing and slow-growing strains of Rhizobium japonicum. Exconjugants now expressed higher levels of β-galactosidase activity which was still inducible by isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside (IPTG).

Transcriptional analysis of the β-galactosidase gene (pbg) inClostridium perfringens [PDF]
The mode of expression of the beta-galactosidase gene (pbg) of Clostridium perfringens was examined. The pbg gene was transcribed on a single 3.7-kb mRNA. The transcript contained a message for ORF54, located upstream of the pbg gene in the chromosome, indicating that ORF54 and the pbg gene comprise one operon (pbg operon). Expression of the pbg operon

Thermostable α-galactosidase fromBacillus stearothermophilusNUB3621: cloning, sequencing and characterization [PDF]
An alpha-galactosidase gene from the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus NUB3621 was cloned, sequenced, expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant protein was purified. The Bacillus enzyme, designated AgaN, is similar to alpha-galactosidases of family 36 in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases.

Anaerobic expression of thegyrAgene demonstrated by β-galactosidase activity ingyrA::Mu-lacfusion derivatives ofEscherichia coli [PDF]
E. coli C600Δ lac was infected with a Mu- lac defective phage. Lysogens resistant to ampicillin (25 µg/ml) and nalidixic acid (20 µg/ml) were unable to grow anaerobically and insensitive to nalidixic acid (150 µg/ml), indicating formation of gyrA ::Mu- lac fusions.
