An orthogonal, rotatable and central composite design was applied to determine the optimum conditions for protoplast regeneration mutagenesis. The results showed that a commixture enzyme （cellulase and glusulase） at the concentration of 4%, enzymolysis temperature at 30℃ and enzymolysis time on 7.5 h were the optimal conditions, in which the lethality of M. isabellina spores was 78.4%. After mutagenesis and re-screenings, M. isabellina mutant Y-69 was obtained. GC analysis showed that the yield of arachidonic acid by Y-69 （2.92 g. L-1） was 3.56 times higher than that of the wild-type strain （0.82 g.L-1）. Pass generation tests showed that the properties of Y-69 by mutation were readily inherited.展开更多

Mutagenesis on Mortierella isabellina As3.3410 was induced to raise ARA production. The mutant strain of YZ-124 had the highest ARA of 4.72 g. L-1, which was 5.5 times higher than that of the original strain 3.3410. mRNA expression level of △ 6- desaturase was determined in five different kinds of ARA-producing Mortierella isabellina after cultured for 7 days, and in the mutant strain YZ-124 over a 3-8 day time-course. In addition, the desaturase activity and ARA content were measured at the selected time points. The lowest expression of △6-desaturase was observed in the original strain and the highest expression in the mutant strain YZ-124, which increased with increasing time in culture. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between the expression levels of △6-desaturase and ARA content. Based on this, △6-desaturase played a significant role in ARA synthesis pathway in Mortierella isabellina.展开更多
