β-Galactosidase of Cryptococcus laurentii OKN-4 was solubilized from a cell wall preparation by Zymolyase-20T, and purified by column chromatographies on DEAE-Sephadex A-50,TSK gel Toyo Pearl HW-55S and TSK gel DEAE-5PW. The purified β-galactosidase was homogenous on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis, and the molecular weight was estimated to be about 200,000 by gel filtration on Toyo Pearl HW-55S and about 100,000 by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme showed the optimum pH at 4.3,and was stable at pH's between 2.8 and 9.3. The optimum temperature of the enzyme was 60℃, and it was stable at temperatures below 57.5℃ for 10 min incubation. The K_m values of the enzyme were 18.2 and 11.4 mM, and those of V_^<max> 76.9 and 5.3 μmol/min/mg protein for O-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactoside and lactose, respectively. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Hg^<2+>, Ag^+, 2-mercaptoethanol, glucose, maltose and maltotriose. It produced 4'GL (O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucopyranose) in a yield of 28.2% from 2.5% lactose solution by galactosyl transfer reaction. The enzyme also produced other galactooligosaccharides, including di-, tri-, and tetrasaccharides. The galactosyl transfer reaction was also observed in a 1% lactose solution. The enzyme had several acceptors and gave transfer products from lactose, lactitol, xylose, arabinose, ribose, glucose and galactose.
