Abstract
In the present investigation, the purification of β-galactosidase synthesized from Bacillus safensis (JUCHE 1), a new strain isolated from casein whey, has been considered. Broth harvested after 28 h (100.8 × 103 s) was first centrifuged, and the sedimented cell pellet was sonicated to isolate intracellular β-galactosidase. After sonication, the intracellular fluid was subjected to microfiltration (MF) (0.2 × 10–6 m) and ultrafiltration (UF) (300 kg mol–1) in series using a flat-sheet poly(ether sulfone) (PES) membrane in a novel rotating-disk membrane module. In the present investigation, four-stage discontinuous diafiltration (DD) at a constant volume concentration factor (VCF = 2) was carried out. Hydrodynamic studies were conducted to determine the appropriate stirrer speed, transmembrane pressure (TMP), and membrane rotation speed. Finally, β-galactosidase was purified based on the principle of salting-out upon addition of 40% (w/v) ammonium sulfate, followed by dialysis using a 1 kg mol–1 membrane. ...
