Mutants and intersexual heterokaryons of Blakeslea trispora for production of beta-carotene and lycopene.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jul 2003

Mehta Bina J, Obraztsova Irina N, Cerdá-Olmedo Enrique

Abstract excerpt

The industrial production of beta-carotene with the zygomycete Blakeslea trispora involves the joint cultivation of mycelia of opposite sex in the presence of beta-ionone and other chemical activators. We have obtained improved strains by mutation and heterokaryosis. We chose wild strains on the basis of their growth and carotene content in single and mated cultures. Following exposure of their spores to...
