Abstract

High yields of galactooligosaccharides may be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of potato pulp using endo-β-1,4-galactanase (EC 3.2.1.89). In present study, the gene aghA encoding endo-β-1,4-galactanase from Aspergillus niger CICIM F0510 was thus cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris, which generated the recombinant strain GS115 (pPIC-aghA). In shaking flask experiments, the activity of recombinant enzyme AghA was 130 U/mL. The optimal pH and temperature of AghA were 4.5 and 45 ℃, respectively, and it was stable at pH 4.0-6.0 or at 30-50 ℃. Most of chemical ions and EDTA had no significant effects on the activity of AghA, while it was strongly inhibited by Fe3+ and nearly completely lost in the presence of Hg2+. The Vmax and Km of AghA towards galactan (potato) were determined to be 400 mg/(mL·min) and 0.08 mg/mL, respectively. Besides, potato pulp was hydrolyzed by AghA into galactobiose, galactotrioses and a small amount of galactotetraose. The results obtained paved the way for large scale production of galactanase AghA and its applications in preparing galactooligosaccharides from potato pulp.
