Abstract
An endo-beta-1,4-D-galactanase was purified 1735-fold from a commercia l enzyme preparation of Aspergillus niger, The endogalactanase was hom ogeneous by SDS-PAGE, having an apparent molecular weight of 32,000. I t specifically hydrolyzed beta-1,4-D-galactan, and is shown to be capa ble of releasing galactosyl oligomers and galactose from the soybean p ectic polysaccharides.
