The mid-gut gland of scallop Patinopecten yessoensis has been discarded in scallop processing factories as a fishery waste and various attempts have been made to turn the waste into valuable resources. In the present study, we tried to use mid-gut gland drips from scallop as a source of β-1,3-glucanase. The mid-gut gland drips were collected in a local fishery factory in Yubetsu-cho, Hokkaido Prefecture. β-1,3-Glucanase was purified from the mid-gut gland drips by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by successive chromatography on Toyopearl Phenyl-650M and Toyopearl DEAE-650M. The scallop β-1,3-glucanase, named PyLam38 in the present study, showed a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and hydrolyzed laminarin, a β-1,3-glucan from Laminaria sp., producing laminaribiose and glucose with an optimal pH and temperature of 6.0 and 45°C, respectively. PyLam38 exhibited high transglycosylation activity toward various accepter substrates such as monosaccharides, alcohols and xylooligosaccharides. Thus, PyLam38 was found to be useful for the production of various novel heterooligosaccharides consisting of laminarioligosaccharides and various accepters.
