title: Purification of alpha-galactosidase and invertase by three-phase partitioning from crude extract of Aspergillus oryzae.
abstract: Alpha-galactosidase and invertase were accumulated in a coherent middle phase in a three-phase partitioning system under different conditions (ammonium sulphate, ratio of tert-butanol to crude extract, temperature and pH). Alpha-galactosidase and invertase were purified 15- and 12-fold with 50 and 54% activity recovery, respectively. The fractions of interfacial precipitate arising from the three-phase partitioning were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Both purified preparations showed electrophoretic homogeneity on SDS-PAGE.
