Intracellular beta-galactosidase from Penicillium chrysogenum NCAIM 00237 was purified by procedures including precipitation with ammonium sulfate, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, affinity chromatography, and chromatofocusing. These steps resulted a purification of 66-fold, a yield of about 8%, and a specific activity of 5.84 U mg(-1) protein. Some enzyme characteristics were determined using o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside as substrate. The pH and temperature optimum of the activity were about 4.0 and 30 degrees C respectively. The K(m) and pI values were 1.81 mM and 4.6. beta-Galactosidase of P. chrysogenum is a multimeric enzyme of about 270 kDa composed of monomers with a molecular mass of 66 kDa.

Article Synopsis
- * Both compounds have similar structural features but differ in their citrinin components, connected by a methylene bridge; they show antifungal properties, particularly against certain fungal species.
- * The antifungal activity involves inhibiting cell growth and disrupting fungal cell walls by manipulating the expression of various nutrient-related hydrolase and synthase genes.

Galactosidases are industrially important enzymes that hydrolyze galactosidic bonds in carbohydrates. Identifying new galactosidases with distinct functional characteristics is of paramount importance. In this study, we report the finding of a novel β-galactosidase PoβGal35A from the fungus Penicillium oxalicum.

Essential oil (EO) has significant antifungal activity. However, there is limited information on the mechanism of the synergistic antifungal effect of the effective components of EO against fungi. In the present study, molecular electrostatic potential and molecular docking were used for the first time to investigate the synergistic antifungal mechanism of eugenol and citral small molecule (C) against .

Background: Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is an abundant feedstock for second-generation bioethanol production. This complex biomass requires an array of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes), mostly from filamentous fungi, for its deconstruction to monomeric sugars for the production of value-added fuels and chemicals. In this study, we evaluated the repertoire of proteins in the secretome of a catabolite repressor-deficient strain of Penicillium funiculosum, PfMig1, in response to SCB induction and examined their role in the saccharification of SCB.
