Abstract
Naringinase was mainly obtained by microbial fermentation, and mutagenesis was a major way for obtaining excellent mutants. The aim of this study was to screen out a high naringinase yielding mutant to enhance the potential application value of its industrialization and compare the effects of different mutagenic methods on the enzyme activity of the strain. A novel producing naringinase strain, Aspergillus tubingensis MN589840, was isolated from mildewed pomelo peel, later subjected to mutagenesis including UV, ARTP and UV-ARTP. After five rounds iterative mutagenesis, the mutants U1, A6 and UA13 were screened out with 1448.49 U mg-1 , 1848.71 U mg-1 , 2475.16 U mg-1 enzyme activity, the naringinase productivity raised by 79.08%, 123.56% and 206%, respectively. In addition, the naringinase activity of three mutants rose after each round of iterative mutagenesis. These results indicated that the mutagenesis efficiency of UV-ARTP was higher than that of single ARTP, and both are better than UV. In summary, the iterative UV-ARTP mutagenesis is an effective strategy for screening high naringinase producing strains.
