Use lactose as the only carbon source,the X-gal as colo r agent,a strain of mucedine producing galacto-oligosaccharides,which was screened from spoiled milk,was identified as Penicillium decumberns by its morphological characteristics,physiological and biochemical characteristics and the result of 18s rDNA sequence.The culture condition of the stain producing galacto-oligosaccharides was optimized by orthogonal test.The effect of pH value,temperature,the concentration of lactose and fermentation time on the galacto-oligosaccharides production of the whole cell strain was studied,using lactose as the only carbon source.It was determined that this strain has the ability of producing galacto-oligosaccharides by analyzing the galactosylation production of the optimization reaction with TLC and HPLC.
