After the complete gene of a beta-galactosidase from human isolate Bifidobacterium breve B24 was isolated by PCR and overexpressed in E. coli, the recombinant beta-galactosidase was purified to homogeneity and characterized for the glycoside transferase (GT) and glycoside hydrolase (GH) activities on lactose. One complete ORF encoding 691 amino acids (2076 bp) was the structural gene, LacA (galA) of the beta-gal gene. The recombinant enzyme shown by activity staining and gel-filtration chromatography was composed of a homodimer of 75 kDa with a total molecular mass of 150 kDa. The Km value for lactose (95.58 mM) was 52.5-fold higher than the corresponding Km values for the synthetic substrate ONPG (1.82 mM). This enzyme with the optimum of pH 7.0 and 45 degrees C could synthesize approximately 42.00% of GOS from 1 M of lactose. About 97.00% of lactose in milk was also quickly hydrolyzed by this enzyme (50 units) at 45 degrees C for 5 h to produce 46.30% of glucose, 46.60% of galactose and 7.10% of GOS. The results suggest that this recombinant beta-galactosidase derived from a human isolate B. breve B24 may be suitable for both the hydrolysis and synthesis of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in milk and lactose processing.
