Functional metagenomics reveals novel β-galactosidases not predictable from gene sequences. [PDF]
The techniques of metagenomics have allowed researchers to access the genomic potential of uncultivated microbes, but there remain significant barriers to determination of gene function based on DNA sequence alone.

A novel Arthrobacter beta-galactosidase with homology to eucaryotic beta-galactosidases
An Arthrobacter beta-galactosidase has homology with the lysosomal acid beta-galactosidases from humans and mice and with a Xanthomonas manihotis enzyme. Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence showed an unusual pattern, with this procaryotic enzyme clustering within the animal clade.

α-Galactosidases and their applications in biotransformations
α-d-Galactosidases (α-d-galactoside galactohydrolase, E.C. 3.2.1.22) are exoglycosidases, which in vivo catalyze the hydrolysis of simple and complex oligo- and polysaccharides containing terminal α-d-galactosyl groups.

Engineered strains of Lactococcus lactis envisioning to deliver exogenous β-galactosidases for relieving lactose intolerance symptoms [PDF]
Lactose intolerance (LI) is a condition affecting many adults. This condition is triggered by the physiological decline of lactase expression in adulthood, which results in a range of gastrointestinal symptoms following the ingestion of lactose ...
