SCREENING OF MUTANT OVERPRODUCING GLA WITH RESISTANCE METHODSCREENING OF MUTANT OVERPRODUCING GLA WITH RESISTANCE METHOD[WT9 / 微生物学通报

Using Mortierella isabellina as starting strain, mutagenized with UV,screened by selecting mutants resisting maleic hydrazide,a fatty acid dehydrogenase inhibitor, directly on gradient plate,a mutant M 80 overproducing Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) was obtained, which has much higher productive qualities than its parental strain Its dry cell weight reaches 25 10g/L,lipid yield 12 35g/L,and GLA yield 771 88mg/L
