Abstract. A thermostable β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) from a thermophilic anaerobe, strain NA10, was purified from the crude extract of the Escherichia coli transformant harboring the lacN gene. The purified enzyme was physically and covalently immobilized to a porous ceramic support, SM-10. Among the supports tested, the highest residual activity after 3 h incubation at 70° C was obtained when the enzyme was covalently immobilized to silanized SM-10 with 3-[2-(2-aminoethylaminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane. The amount of the enzyme immobilized was about 60 mg/g of this support. The enzymatic properties were almost the same as those of the free enzyme. The half-life of this immobilized enzyme was estimated to be approximately 450 h at the pasteurization temperature (65° C).
