Abstract
The maximum volumetric productivity of β-galactosidase by a Kluyveromyces marxianus mutant, grown on lactose/corn steep liquor medium for 3 d, was 150 IU l−1 h−1 which is twice that of the parent organism. During product formation, mutated cells provided more resistance against thermal inactivation.
