雨生红球藻的紫外、激光复合诱变育种

用紫外线和激光复合诱变生产虾青素的雨生红球藻,以适宜条件下的生长速率和亚适宜条件下的虾青素累积能力为筛选指标。结果表明,与原始出发株比,紫外线诱变后,色青累积速率提高37.8％,但生长速率有所下降,紫外线,激光复合诱变结果,生长速率提高11.1%,培养1个月时虾青素累积量提高52.2%。电镜观察结果表明,激光可刺激叶绿体发育,从而改善了紫外线诱变后的生长抑制状况,展示复合诱变是筛选高产虾青素藻株的有效方法。     

Study of the fructosediphosphate aldolase and transketolase activity in the nystatin producer, Actinomyces noursei]

Activity of transketolase, an enzyme of the pentose cycle and fructosodiphosphataldolase, an enzyme of glycolisis was studied in the dynamics of development of the nystatin-producing organism and its inactive mutant under various conditions of their cultivation with a purpose of finding relation between the antibiotic production and general metabolism of Act. noursei. The transketolase activity of the organism was 2-4 times higher than that of the inactive mutant. Addition of 8000 Units/ml of nystatin to the medium markedly suppressed (50-100 per cent) the aldolase activity, however it had no effect on the transkelotase activity. Possibly the antibiotic accumulated in the mycelium played the role of a regulator of the activity of the enzymes, directing the metabolites along the hexosomonophosphate pathway of carbohydrate dissimilation.
