| Abstract: | The galactosyl transfer reaction to cyclo-[-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->] (CTS) was examined using lactose as a donor and beta-galactosidases from Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus circulans. The A. oryzae beta-galactosidase produced three galactosyl derivatives of CTS. The main galactosyl derivative produced by the A. oryzae enzyme was identified as 6-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-CTS, cyclo-[-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)]-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->]. The B. circulans beta-galactosidase also synthesized three galactosyl-transfer products to CTS. The structure of main transgalactosylation product was 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-CTS, cyclo-[-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->6)-[beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)]-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->]. These results showed that beta-galactosidase transferred galactose directly to the ring glucose residue of CTS. |
