利用返回式飞船选育优良红曲霉菌

MUTANT SELECTION FROM Monascus purpureus BY AEROSPACE FLIGHT IN RECOVERABLE AIRSHIP

利用“神舟 3号”返回式飞船搭载红曲霉菌 0 70 8。对搭载后的菌株进行复壮、分离和筛选 ,以高产洛伐他汀和耐硒为选择条件 ,筛选到 8株耐硒又高产洛伐他汀的菌株。经连续发酵试验证明变异菌株的优良特性可以保持稳定。

Monascus purpureus was carried into aerospace by the return airship “Shenzhou No.3”. After flight, the strain was rejuvenized, segregated and selected. 8 strains with high productivity of lovastatin and Selenium tolerance were obtained. A series of tests showed that the acquired character of the mutants is stable.
