AIMS: Lactose intolerance, a serious health problem for Asians, can be solved using probiotic bacteria having high lactose hydrolysis activities. We determined the distribution of beta-galactosidase (beta-gal), phospho-beta-galactosidase (P-betagal) and phospho-beta-glucosidase (P-beta-glc) activities in species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from human faeces to select strains for potential use in fermented dairy products, e.g. yogurt.
METHODS AND RESULTS: The sugar substrates, o-nitrophenyl-beta-D- galactopyranoside 6-phosphate and o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside 6-phosphate, were synthesized and used to measure respectively P-beta-gal and P-beta-glc activities. Sixty-five toluene-treated strains were examined for three lactase enzyme activities. Lactobacillus mucosae OLL2848 showed the highest beta-gal activity (107.09 U mg(-1) of protein) among the Lactobacillus strains from human faeces. Lactobacillus gasseri OLL2836 and OLL 2948 showed the highest P-beta-gal (46.58 U) and P-beta-glc (50.19 U)activity, respectively, with no beta-gal activity.
CONCLUSIONS: The expression of P-beta-glc induced by lactose was characteristic of Lact. gasseri. Because this LAB is a major inhabitant of the human intestine. This enzyme is a key glycosidase involved in lactose utilization.
SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: This is the first report describing the distribution of three glycosidase activities used in lactose metabolism in LAB isolated from human faeces for possible use in functional foods.
