摘要
Aspergillus fumigatus secreted invertase (beta-fructofuranosidase) and alpha-galactosidase enzymatic activities able to hydrolyzing raffinose oligosaccharides (RO). alpha-Galactosidase was induced by galactose, melibiose and raffinose, but galactose was the most efficient inducer. It was purified by; gel filtration and two ion exchange chromatographies and showed Mw of 54. 7 kDa. The purified enzyme showed maximal activity against p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (pNPGal) at pH 4.5-5.5 and 55 degrees C, and retained about 80% of the original activity after incubation for 90 minutes at 50 degrees C The K-M for pNPGal was 0.3 mM. Melibiose was hydrolyzed by the enzyme but raffinose was very poor substrate.
