Abstract:
The present study is focused on the production, purification and
characterization of multiple thermostable α-galactosidases from a novel
actinomycete strain Streptomyces griseoloalbus. The Chapter I of the thesis
covers the wide literature regarding α-galactosidases from various sources
and their potential applications. The Chapter 11 deals with the isolation of α-galactosidase-
producing actinomycetes and selection of the best strain. The
Chapters III and IV describe the optimization of α-galactosidase production
under submerged fermentation and solid-state fermentation respectively. The
Chapter V describes the purification and characterization of multiple α-galactosidases
and also the obvious existence of a novel galactose-tolerant
enzyme. The Chapter VI illustrates the potential applications of α-galactosidases
from S. griseoloalbus followed by the Chapter VII summarizing
and concluding the results of the present investigation.
