Research Abstract |
Carbohydrate analysis suggests that the major oligosaccharides related to the viscosity are arabinogalactan and xyloglucan. Full lenghth cDNA of β-galactosidase could be obtained among some carbohydrate hydrolytic enzymes. In addition, c DNA cloning of NADP-ME also has been completed, but it is still ambiguous where a real initiation codon in the cDNA is. It is necessary that construction of expression system and following enzymatic analysis of both enzymes, β-galactosidase and NADP-ME.
