The presence of multiple types of beta-galactosidases in a commercial enzyme preparation from Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382 and differences in their transgalactosylation activity were investigated. Four beta-galactosidases, beta-Gal-A, beta-Gal-B, beta-Gal-C, and beta-Gal-D, which were immunologically homologous, were isolated and characterized. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of all of the enzymes were identical and biochemical characteristics were similar, except for galactooligosaccharide production. beta-Gal-B, beta-Gal-C, and beta-Gal-D produced mainly tri- and tetra saccharides at maximum yields of 20-30 and 9-12%, while beta-Gal-A produced trisaccharide with 7% with 5% lactose as substrate. The Lineweaver-Burk plots for all of the enzymes, except for beta-Gal-A, showed biphasic behavior. beta-Gal-A was truncated to yield multiple beta-galactosidases by treatment with protease isolated from the culture broth of B. circulans. Treatment of beta-Gal-A with trypsin yielded an active 91-kDa protein composed of 21-kDa and 70-kDa proteins with characteristics similar to those for beta-Gal-D.
