Abstract

The effective isolation of intracellular enzymes from thermophilic bacteria is challenging because of their sturdy membrane. On the other hand, the low-cost and nontoxic method is essential for industrial food enzymes. The freeze-thaw cycles using acetone-dry ice as a frozen system was studied for efficient isolation of thermostable b-galactosidase from Geobacillus sp. dYTae-14. This enzyme has been known for application in the dairy industry to reduce the lactose content. In this study, the freeze-thaw method was performed with cycle variations 3, 5, and 7 cycles. Acetone-dry ice (-78°C) is used as a frozen system and boiling water for thawing. The b-galactosidase activity was assayed using ortho-Nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG) as substrate and protein content determined with the Lowry method. The results show that the most effective freeze-thaw is five cycles. The enzyme’s highest specific activity is 3610.13 units/mg proteins at 40-60 % ammonium sulfate saturation, with a purity value of 2.52.
