Phenylgalactoside, fa'aigoa fo'i o le p-nitrophenyl β-D-galactopyranoside (pNPG), o se mea fa'asusuga fa'asusu e masani ona fa'aaogaina i su'esu'ega o meaola fa'aola ma molecular biology.E masani ona faʻaaogaina e iloa ai ma fua le gaioiga o le enzyme β-galactosidase.
A fa'asusu le phenylgalactoside e le β-galactosidase, na te fa'asa'olotoina le p-nitrophenol, o se mea lanu samasama.O le faʻasaʻolotoga o le p-nitrophenol e mafai ona fuaina faʻatatau i le faʻaogaina o le spectrophotometer, ona o le faʻaogaina o le p-nitrophenol e mafai ona iloa ile galu ole 405 nm.
