Sequence‐Based and Functional Analysis for the Discovery of N‐Glycan Degrading Glycosidases From the Microbial Metagenome of the Infant Gut [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpenThe role of bacterial glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) in degrading free human milk oligosaccharides is well documented. However, their activity on glycoconjugates is less well known.

Structure and function of a β-1,2-galactosidase from Bacteroides xylanisolvens, an intestinal bacterium [PDF]
Communications BiologyGalactosides are major carbohydrates that are found in plant cell walls and various prebiotic oligosaccharides. Studying the detailed biochemical functions of β-galactosidases in degrading these carbohydrates is important.

Structural Comparison of Different Galacto-oligosaccharide Mixtures Formed by β-Galactosidases from Lactic Acid Bacteria and Bifidobacteria. [PDF]
J Agric Food Chem, 2020 The LacLM-type β-galactosidase from Lactobacillus helveticus DSM 20075 expressed in both Escherichia coli (EcoliBL21Lhβ-gal) and Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp609Lhβ-gal) was tested for their potential to form galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose ...

Purification and characterization of a β-galactosidase fromSclerotinia sclerotiorum [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Sclerotinia sclerotiorum secretes β-galactosidase, giving very low activity when cultivated in a medium with glucose as the carbon source. This production is greatly enhanced during growth on different pectin related polysaccharides. An extracellular β-galactosidase was purified 26-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and ion exchange

The occurrence of β-galactosidase and β-phosphogalactosidase inLactobacillus caseistrains [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1984 Several strains of Lactobacillus casei of different origins were compared and it was observed that lactose metabolism varied from one strain to the other. Certain strains contained a β-galactosidase, others a β-phosphogalactosidase and others contain both.

Analysis of Domain Architecture and Phylogenetics of Family 2 Glycoside Hydrolases (GH2). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In this work we report a detailed analysis of the topology and phylogenetics of family 2 glycoside hydrolases (GH2). We distinguish five topologies or domain architectures based on the presence and distribution of protein domains defined in Pfam and ...

Beverages, 2022 Much attention has recently been paid to β-Galactosidases (β-D-galactoside galactohidrolase; EC 3.2.1.23), commonly known as lactases, due to the lactose intolerance of the human population and the importance of dairy products in the human diet.

Effect of tunicamycin on α-galactosidase secretion byAspergillus nidulansand the importance ofN-glycosylation [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994 Aspergillus nidulans released α-galactosidase into the culture medium during the exponential growth on either lactose or galactose as the only carbon source. This enzyme is a glycoprotein. Its treatment with endoglycosidases produces a reduction in its molecular mass but the resulting enzyme conserved some of their carbohydrate components in addition ...
