高产红曲黄色素菌株的选育

利用紫外、硫酸二乙酯、氯化锂和亚硝基胍复合诱变的方法,选育到一株高产黄色素的红曲霉突变株MYM2.经过稳定性实验证明,诱变得到的菌株稳定性较好,液态发酵试验黄色素色价达到100U/mL以上,黄色素色调达到3.5左右.此黄色素在300nm～600nm波长之间只有一个在410 nm附近的最大吸收峰,在pH 3～8之间稳定性较好.当pH小于3时,红曲黄色素不稳定,黄色素溶液变混浊,放置后有沉淀产生.

Selection of Monascus with High Yellow Pigment Production

The Monascus mutant with high yield of yellow pigment was obtained by using conventional relevant mutation techniques, e.g., treating with physical mutagens(such as UV light) and chemical substances (such as N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine). The yellow pigment was scanned from 300 nm to 600 nm with UV spectrometer, the maximal absorption was determined at 410 nm. The growth characteristic of Monascus mutant is stable, the yellow pigment value and colour hue in liquid fermentation can reach 100 U/mL and 3.5 respectively. The yellow pigment is stable from pH 3 to pH 8, but the precipitation appeared as the pH of the pigment solution lower than 3.
