ABSTRACT
Forty-five strains of molds were screened for beta-galactosidase activity. Strains exhibiting enzyme activity were evaluated for cell yield as well as enzyme units available per liter of the medium, per gram cell dry weight, and per milligram protein in their cell free extracts. Cultures exhibiting high activity were Alternaria parascicola, Alternaria palmi, Aspergillus fumigatus, Macrophomina phaseoli, and Syncephalastmm sp. Beta-galactosidase of Alternaria palmi was the most heat stable as it did not lose activity at 65 C for 45 min.
