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.

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 ...

Discovery of novel enzymes with industrial potential from a cold and alkaline environment by a combination of functional metagenomics and culturing [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The use of cold-active enzymes has many advantages, including reduced energy consumption and easy inactivation. The ikaite columns of SW Greenland are permanently cold (4-6°C) and alkaline (above pH 10), and the microorganisms living there ...

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.

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.

Selection of lactic acid bacteria strain for simultaneous production of α- and β-galactosidases
Galactosidases are group of enzymes gaining increasing attention in recent times due to the fact they catalyse hydrolysis of galatose-containing oligosaccharide, which reduce digestibility of various food and feed products.
