PRODUCTION OF BETA-GALACTOSIDASE

摘要

PURPOSE:To effectively obtain beta-galactosidase useful in terms of drug and industry and to effectively use an industrial waste by aerobically culturing a specific fungus capable of producing beta-galactosidase in a solid medium consisting essentially of bean-curd refuse. CONSTITUTION:A fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus, capable of producing beta-galactosidase is aerobically cultured in a medium consisting essentially of bean-curd refuse, preferably containing one or more selected from inorganic salts and fats and oils. beta-Galactosidase produced and accumulated in the medium is collected.
