Biochemical characterization of three Aspergillus niger β-galactosidases
Background: β-Galactosidases catalyze both hydrolytic and transgalactosylation reactions and therefore have many applications in food, medical, and biotechnological fields.

β-galactosidases (EC 3.2.1.23) catalyze the hydrolysis of β-galactosidic bonds in oligosaccharides and, under certain conditions, transfer a sugar moiety from a glycosyl donor to an acceptor.

Recombinant production and characterization of six novel GH27 and GH36 α-galactosidases from Penicillium subrubescens and their synergism with a commercial mannanase during the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass [PDF]
α-Galactosidases are important industrial enzymes for hemicellulosic biomass degradation or modification. In this study, six novel extracellular α-galactosidases from Penicillium subrubescens were produced in Pichia pastoris and characterized.

Characterization of GH2 and GH42 β-galactosidases derived from bifidobacterial infant isolates [PDF]
Bifidobacteria are among the first and most abundant bacterial colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract of (breast-fed) healthy infants. Their success of colonising the infant gut is believed to be, at least partly, due to their ability to metabolize ...

β-Galactosidases from a Sequence-Based Metagenome: Cloning, Expression, Purification and Characterization [PDF]
Stabilization ponds are a common treatment technology for wastewater generated by dairy industries. Large proportions of cheese whey are thrown into these ponds, creating an environmental problem because of the large volume produced and the high ...

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) represent non-digestible glycans that are commercially produced by transgalactosylation of lactose, and that are widely used as functional food ingredients in prebiotic formulations, in particular in infant nutrition.
