Conclusion<br />
In this study, Hafnia alvei KNOUC302, a strain<br />
that produces lactose hydrolyzing enzyme at low<br />
temperature, was isolated from the samples of raw<br />
milk collected from dairy farms of Kyung-gi<br />
province in Korea. The results obtained in this study<br />
show that Hafnia alvei KNOUC302 grew optimally<br />
at 20 ºC and pH=7.0-7.2. The gene (KNOUC302 β-<br />
gal) consists of 918 bp encoding the protein of 306<br />
amino acids and 34,806 Da of deduced Mw. In the<br />
search for cold-adapted β-galactosidase, we<br />
conclude that the β-D-galactosidase from Hafnia<br />
alvei KNOUC302 is a cold-active enzyme, and that<br />
the enzyme could have advantageous applications in<br />
the food industry, the treatment of chilled dairy<br />
products while avoiding flavor tainting and the risk<br />
of microbial contamination.<br />
