Experimental conditions may affect reproducibility of the beta-galactosidase assay [PDF]
Several experimental conditions and parameters contributing to the determination of beta-galactosidase activity, as proposed in Miller's assay, were studied. Use of the absorbance correction factor and the nature and concentration of permeabilizing agents were taken into account as different experimental conditions.

A data comparison between a traditional and the single-step β-galactosidase assay
This article describes reproducibility of a single-step automated β-galactosidase, and the equivalence of its data to the traditional assay (“Experiments in Molecular Genetics” [1]).

Cloning of the phospho-β-galactosidase gene inEscherichia colifrom lactose-negative mutants ofStreptococcus mutansisolated following random mutagenesis with plasmid pVA891 clone banks [PDF]
In order to mutagenize Streptococcus mutans a marker rescue plasmid, pVA891, was employed. The plasmid was ligated with Sau3AI digested chromosomal DNA fragments from S. mutans GS-5IS3 and the resultant plasmids were amplified in Escherichia coli.

Characterization and molecular cloning of a heterodimeric β-galactosidase from the probiotic strainLactobacillus acidophilusR22 [PDF]
Beta-galactosidase from the probiotic strain Lactobacillus acidophilus R22 was purified to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulphate fractionation, hydrophobic interaction, and affinity chromatography. The enzyme is a heterodimer consisting of two subunits of 35 and 72 kDa, as determined by gel electrophoresis.

High-level expression of Aspergillus niger β-galactosidase in Ashbya gossypii [PDF]
Ashbya gossypii has been recently considered as a host for the expression of recombinant proteins. The production levels achieved thus far were similar to those obtained with Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the same proteins.

α-Galactosidase A fromPseudomonas fluorescenssubsp.cellulosa: cloning, high level expression and its role in galactomannan hydrolysis [PDF]
A library of Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa genomic DNA, constructed in lambda ZAPII, was screened for alpha-D-galactosidase activity. The DNA inserts from six galactosidase-positive clones were rescued into plasmids. Restriction digestion and Southern analysis revealed that each of the plasmids contained a common DNA sequence.

Development of stable flocculent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for continuous Aspergillus niger β-galactosidase production [PDF]
A flocculent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was engineered to stably secrete Aspergillus niger β-galactosidase in a continuous high-cell-density bioreactor. The δ-sequences from the yeast retrotransposon Ty1 were used as target sites for the integration

: β-Galactosidase is one of the most important enzymes used in dairy processing. It converts lactose into glucose and galactose, and also catalyzes galactose to form galactooligosaccharides (GOS), so-called prebiotics.

Cloning and characterization of a novel α-galactosidase fromBifidobacterium breve203 capable of synthesizing Gal-α-1,4 linkage [PDF]
A novel alpha-galactosidase gene (aga2) was cloned from Bifidobacterium breve 203. It contained an ORF of 2226-bp nucleotides encoding 741 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 81.5 kDa. The recombinant enzyme Aga2 was heterogeneously expressed, purified and characterized. Regarding substrate specificity for hydrolysis, Aga2 was highly active
