Selection of High-Yield Abscisic Acid Strains Through Atmospheric Room Temperature Plasma Mutagenesis
Objective:To utilize atmospheric room temperature plasma(ARTP)technology to induce mutations in Botrytis cinerea,a potential host for abscisic acid production,aiming to obtain genetically stable mutant strains with high abscisic acid titer.Methods:A mixed enzyme solution is used to remove the cell wall of B.cinerea to obtain protoplasts.The protoplasts are then subjected to ARTP mutagenesis treatment under conditions of 120 W output power,10 L/min working gas flow,2 mm irradiation distance,and 120 s irradiation time.Finally,the abscisic acid yield of the mutant strains is measured,and fermentation optimization is performed on the best mutant strain.Results:Compared to the wild-type strain,the mutant strains show varying degrees of improvement in abscisic acid production.Notably,mutant strains A4 and A7 exhibit significant increases in abscisic acid production,with enhancements of 26.3%and 30.5%,respectively.Further single-factor experiments determined that the optimal fermentation carbon and nitrogen sources for mutant strain A7 are glucose and soybean meal,with an optimal inoculation amount of 8%.Conclusion:The mutant strains with high abscisic acid production can be effectively obtained by using ARTP mutagenesis technology,which provides favorable support for the industrial production of abscisic acid.
