40 samples were collected from milk from Homs to isolate the
bacteria and study their ability to produce the enzyme β-
galactosidase and diagnose isolates the most efficient in the
production of the enzyme, the results showed the presence of 25
sporeforming isolates producing the enzyme β-galactosidase , the
effectiveness of β-galactosidase was estimated using
spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 420 nm.
