A New <i>β</i>-Galactosidase from <i>Pseudomonas tritici</i> SWRI145 for Efficient Bioproduction of Galactooligosaccharides.

ABSTRACT: Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are a class of prebiotic carbohydrates composed of 2 to 8 galactose units linked together and often terminated with a glucose molecule. GOS have attracted significant attention for their health-promoting properties, including the regulation of gut microbiota, promotion of infant health, immune modulation, laxative effects, and potential metabolic benefits. Widely utilized in functional foods, infant formulas, dairy products, and dietary supplements, GOS occur naturally in human milk and are primarily industrially produced through the enzymatic conversion of lactose. β-Galactosidase is a crucial enzyme in GOS bioproduction, which exhibits dual functions of hydrolysis and transglycosylation. In this investigation, a novel β-galactosidase from Ps
