A New Extracellular β-Galactosidase Producing Kluyveromyces sp. PCH397 from Yak Milk and Its Applications for Lactose Hydrolysis and Prebiotics Synthesis
Abstract:b-Galactosidase is a crucial glycoside hydrolase enzyme with potential applications in the dairy, food, and pharmaceutical industries. The enzyme is produced in the intracellular environment by bacteria and yeast. The present study reports yeast Kluyveromyces sp. PCH397 isolated from yak milk, which has displayed extracellular bgalactosidase activity in cell-free supernatant through the growth phase. To investigate further, cell counting and methylene blue staining of culture collected at different growth stag… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
