Synthesis of benzyl β-d-galactopyranoside by transgalactosylation using a β-galactosidase produced by the over expression of the Kluyveromyces lactis LAC4 gene …
Abstract The LAC4 gene of Kluyveromyces lactis encoding for β-galactosidase was overexpressed in the yeast Arxula adeninivorans to produce the enzyme, which can be used for the synthesis of β-d-galactosides. These compounds play a major role as precursors for the synthesis of glycolipids and glycoproteins in medicine or for the production of tensides.
