Abstract
An extracellular α‐galactosidase from the culture filtrate of Aspergillus flavipes grown on melibiose as a carbon source was partially purified by hydroxylapatite and diethylaminoethylcellulose chromatographies. Electrophoretic analysis showed protein bands corresponding to α‐galactosidase and invertase activities. The optimum pH and temperature were determined as 4.5–5.0 and 45°C, respectively. The Km value for p‐nitrophenyl‐α‐d‐galactopyranoside was found to be 1.89 mm. The results reported in this study indicate that Aspergillus flavipes is indeed an active source of extracellular α‐galactosidase. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract An __Aspergillus giganteus__ strain was isolated as an excellent producer of xylanase associated with low levels of cellulase. Optimal xylanase production was obtained in liquid Vogel medium containing xylan as carbon source, pH 6.5 to 7.0, at 25 °C and under shaking at 120 rpm during 8
## Abstract β‐Galactosidases (β‐D‐galactoside‐galactohydrolases (EC 3.2.1.23), lactases) are important industrial enzymes used for the hydrolysis of lactose from milk and milk whey. These enzymes are produced by different organisms and purified by multi‐step procedures. The multi‐step purification
a-Galactosidase activity was observed in six strains of Lactobacillus plantarurn isolated from fermented cereal products, human intestinal flora and fermented tea. The cultural conditions under which the enzyme activity was detected suggest that the enzyme is inducible. Development of mutants in fou
