Penicillium oxalicum SO alpha-galactosidase demonstrated weak hydrolysing activity but a high rate of transglycosylation in the reaction with melibiose, where the major product was 6-alpha-galactosyl melibiose. The transfer ratio was 83.6% and was maintained over a long reaction time of 80 h. The molecular weight was estimated to be 124,000 by SDS-PAGE. The optimal pH was similar to 3 and a stable pH, with a range of 2.4-9.5, was found. The optimal temperature was similar to 60 degrees C and the activity was stable below 60 degrees C. With respect to acceptor specificity, mono-alcohols, sugar alcohols and sugars were poor acceptors, but the di-alcohol ethylene glycol and the tri-alcohol glycerin were good acceptors. The percentage of transglycosylation to glycerin increased up to 41.7%, as that to melibiose decreased, with the initial glycerin concentration of 40%. The production of alpha-D-galactosylglycerol was 293 mg for each gram of melibiose used by the enzymatic reaction. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
