Why cant the ONPG test be substituted for the determination of lactose fermentation?

ONPG test detects only presence of beta galactosidase enzyme whereas lactose fermentation requires the presence of permease as well as beta galactosidase enzyme.

Galactose is a product of enzymatic hydrolysis of?

Galactose is obtained from lactose (the milk sugar) after its hydrolysis carried out by the enzyme beta-galactosidase (or lactase) yielding beta-D-glucose and alpha-D-galactose.


How is lactose catabolized via the glycolytic pathway?

Lactose is metabolized by the enzyme beta-galactosidase giving one molecule of galactose and one molecule of glucose.

What is an alpha-d-galactosidase?

In biochemistry, an alpha-d-galactosidase is a galactosidase which only hydrolyzes the alpha-d configuration of galactosides - a deficiency of this enzyme can lead to Fabry's disease.

Why do transformed cells form white colonies?

Assuming you are asking about blue-white screening in transformation of plasmids... The agar plate has X-gal in it. If a colony of E. coli has beta-galactosidase (an enzyme expressed from the lac operon in the vector) present, it will break down the x-gal and turn the colony blue. If the colony does not express beta-galactosidase (because the LacZ gene has been interrupted by a ligated gene that you want to express), it will not metabolize the x-gal, thus not turning blue.


What occurs when there is a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A?

Without the alpha-galactosidase A enzyme, fatty compounds starts to line the blood vessels.
