A library of thermophilic glycosidases was screened for lactosamine pr
eparation from a transgalactosylation reaction between lactose and glu
cosamine hydrochloride. Two enzymes showed excellent regioselectivity
toward glucosamine hydrochloride. The product could be synthesized on
a multigram scale and was easily separated and purified by subsequentl
y eluting through cation and anion exchange resin columns. (C) 1998 El
