摘要: Enzymes with high specific activities at low temperatures have potential uses in the food industry. Cold-adapted microorganisms are potentially useful sources of cold-active enzyme. To find cold-adapted P-galactosidase, we isolated several cold-adapted microorganisms from glacier zone soil. One cold-adapted P-galactosidase producing strain was obtained. The biochemical characteristics and the results of 16S rDNA sequencing identified the strain as Rahnella aquatilis. The enzyme was purified by column chromatography after which a single protein band migrating near 60 kDa was observed by means of SDS-PAGE. The beta-galactosidase was optimally active at 35 degrees C and at pH 6.5 when assayed with o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyrano-side as substrate. The enzyme activity was sensitive to temperatures above 40 degrees C and was undetectable at 45 degrees C. Metal ions Mn2+ and K+ activated the enzyme while Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ inhibited the activity. The enzyme was also assayed for lactose hydrolysis. When milk is treated with the enzyme at 30 degrees C for 2 h, the degree of lactose hydrolysis can reach 80%. It has, thus, potential applications in the food industry.
