Abstract excerpt
To improve the fermentation efficiency of lycopene, a plasma jet, driven by an active helium atom supplied with atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) biological breeding system, was used as a new method to generate mutations in Blakeslea trispora (-). After several rounds of screening, a mutant A5 with high concentration of lycopene and dry biomass was isolated, which showed a maximum lycopene...
