BIFIDOBACTERIUM BIFIDUM ALPHA-GALACTOSIDASE AND ITS USE The present invention relates to a novel β-galactosidase with isolated transgalactosylation activity of Bifidobacterium bifidum. <244> Galactosidase is capable of converting melibiose to <244> -galactobiose disaccharides, which can be incorporated into numerous food or animal foods to improve gut health by promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut, and by suppressing the growth of pathogenic microflora. |
