β-Galactosidases (EC 3.2. 1.23) constitute a large family of proteins that are known to
catalyze both hydrolytic and transgalactosylation reactions. The hydrolytic activity has been …

Non-digestible oligosaccharides are applied as functional food ingredients to replace
sucrose and to exploit specific biological functions, particularly low cariogenicity, low caloric …

The thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 is able to utilize lactose from whey-
based media for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) under nitrogen …

β-Galactosidase, commonly named lactase, is one of the most important enzymes used in
dairy processing; it catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose to its constituent monosaccharides …

Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the
hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has …

Dtur_0462 gene from the hypertermophilic bacterium Dictyoglomus turgidum, encoding a β-
glucosidase, was synthetically produced and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)-RIL …

The gene encoding homodimeric β-galactosidase (lacA) from Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13
was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the resulting recombinant enzyme …

Most microorganisms adapted to life in milk owe their ability to thrive in this habitat to the
evolution of mechanisms for the use of the most abundant sugar present on it, lactose, as a …

Cyclization of proteins using SpyTag/SpyCatcher is a novel approach to increase their
thermal stability. In this paper, we test this approach on two β-galactosidases from Bacillus …

A recombinant thermostable β-galactosidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus was
immobilized onto chitosan using Tris (hydroxymethyl) phosphine (THP) and glutaraldehyde …
