their use in the evaluation of intestinallactase activity in vivo. Their administration to suckling rats followed by determination of the derived D-xylose in the urine and measurement of lactase activity in intestinal homogenates showed 1 to be the most suitable disaccharide for a potential test of the deficiency of intestinallactase. The synthesis of 1 was further studied by evaluating the effect of

The regioselectivity of enzymatic transgalactosidation depends on the source of the beta-galactosidase used. When the galactosyl acceptor only contains secondary hydroxyl groups, e.g., D- or L-xylose, it is possible to find an enzyme that catalyses preferentially the synthesis of any of the three regioisomers 4-, 3- and 2-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-D-xylose (1, 2 and 3, respectively) or 4-, 3- and

A gene encoding a novel beta-D-galactosidase from the psychrotolerant Antarctic bacterium Arthrobacter sp. 32cB was isolated, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The active form of recombinant beta-D-galactosidase consists of two subunits with a combined molecular weight of approximately 257 kDa. The enzyme's maximum activity towards o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside was determined as occurring at 28 degrees C and pH 8.0. However, it exhibited 42% of maximum activity at 10 degrees C and was capable of hydrolyzing both lactose and o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside at that temperature, with K-m, values of 1.52 and 16.56 mM, and k(cat) values 30.55 and 31.84 s(-1), respectively. Two units of the enzyme hydrolyzed 90% of the lactose in 1 mL of milk at 10 degrees C in 24 h. The transglycosylation activity of Arthrobacter sp. 32cB beta-D-galactosidase was also examined. It synthesized galactooligosaccharides in a temperature range from 10 to 30 degrees C. Moreover, it catalyzed the synthesis of heterooligosaccharides such as lactulose, galactosyl-xylose and galactosyl-arabinose, alkyl glycosides, and glycosylated salicin from lactose and the appropriate acceptor at 30 degrees C. The properties of Arthrobacter sp. 32cB beta-D-galactosidase make it a candidate for use in the industrial removal of lactose from milk and a promising tool for the glycosylation of various acceptors, especially those which are thermosensitive.

Enzymatic syntheses and selective hydrolysis of O-β-d-galactopyranosides using a marine mollusc β-galactosidase
The use of crude extract of the hepatopancreas of Aplysia fasciata, a large mollusc belonging to the order Anaspidea containing a beta-galactosidase activity, was reported for the synthesis of different galactosides. Good yields with polar acceptors and the uncommon beta-1-3 selectivity in the transgalactosylation reactions with most of the acceptors were observed. A beta-1-2 selectivity in the hydrolytic conditions was also observed and discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
