²-galactosidase is a bacterial enzyme. Study of this enzyme allowed researchers to develop operon model and determine the role of the enzyme in regulating gene expression. Besides this historic significance, ²-galactosidase also have essential enzymatic functions, including to hydrolyze lactose into glucose and galactose, to synthesize allolactose by transgalactosylation of lactose, and to produce monosaccharides…
