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 />
