The resultant mycelial lipids accounted for 40 1% of the dry mycelia, while about 34% of butanol in the medium was converted. The mycelial lipids contained four kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, i.e ., palmitoleic(4 9%), oleic(54 1%), linoleic(10 4%) and linolenic(5 4%) acids. Those accounted for 74 8% of the total fatty acids. The effects of the culture conditions, such as cultivation temperature, initial pH of the medium and additional feeding butanol in the course of cultivation, on the production of mycelial lipids by M. isabellina were studied.展开更多

An orthogonal, rotatable and central composite design was applied to determine the optimum conditions for protoplast regeneration mutagenesis. The results showed that a commixture enzyme （cellulase and glusulase） at the concentration of 4%, enzymolysis temperature at 30℃ and enzymolysis time on 7.5 h were the optimal conditions, in which the lethality of M. isabellina spores was 78.4%. After mutagenesis and re-screenings, M. isabellina mutant Y-69 was obtained. GC analysis showed that the yield of arachidonic acid by Y-69 （2.92 g. L-1） was 3.56 times higher than that of the wild-type strain （0.82 g.L-1）. Pass generation tests showed that the properties of Y-69 by mutation were readily inherited.展开更多

Mutagenesis on Mortierella isabellina As3.3410 was induced to raise ARA production. The mutant strain of YZ-124 had the highest ARA of 4.72 g. L-1, which was 5.5 times higher than that of the original strain 3.3410. mRNA expression level of △ 6- desaturase was determined in five different kinds of ARA-producing Mortierella isabellina after cultured for 7 days, and in the mutant strain YZ-124 over a 3-8 day time-course. In addition, the desaturase activity and ARA content were measured at the selected time points. The lowest expression of △6-desaturase was observed in the original strain and the highest expression in the mutant strain YZ-124, which increased with increasing time in culture. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between the expression levels of △6-desaturase and ARA content. Based on this, △6-desaturase played a significant role in ARA synthesis pathway in Mortierella isabellina.展开更多

The amount of lipid reached 64.5% of dry mycelia, and unsaturated acids accounted for 97.05% of the total fatty acids. Mean while, 75% of hexadecanol in medium was converted to lipid. The biosynthetic route from hexadecanol to linoleic acid was presumed as follows: HexadecanolC18∶0（Steric acid）C18∶1（Oleic acid）C18∶2（Linoleic展开更多
