General description
Application
β-Galactosidase from Escherichia coli has been used to produce biocatalytic Ca-alginate beads on a B-390 encapsulator (BUCHI).[3] It has been used to prepare the source droplet solution and also as the cargo for Pep-1 (KETWWETWWTEWSQPKKKRKV-cysteamide).[4]
β-Galactosidase may be used for derivatization, such as an enzyme label for IgG, without prior dialysis or gel filtration.[5]
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-galactosidase cleaves lactose into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose. It also catalyses the transglycosylation of glucose into allolactose, the inducer of β-galactosidase, in a feedback loop.
β-galactosidase is considered as a reporter enzyme in applications involving gene expression regulation, analysis of protein function/structure and target gene expression.[6]

pUC18 and pUC19 are well-known high copy-number plasmid vectors routinely used for DNA cloning purposes. We show here that, in Escherichia coli transformed by native pUC18, the α-complementation of β-galactosidase (i.e., mediated by the peptide LacZα18) is intrinsically weak and
