Description

In order to lucubrate the metabolic mechanism of D-xylose into ethanol by the method of Comparative genomics, we used 60Co-γ irradiation to mutagenize Pichia stipitis CICC1960 and obtained some high ethanol conversion strains and seven mutational strains. Using the ethanol yield as index, the fermentation ability of mutational strains in descending order was: a1, X4, i11, K2, X21, CICC1960, a11, c10, and the average of ethanol-xylose ratio respectively was: 0.3143, 0.3037, 0.2911, 0.2678, 0.2578, 0.2311, 0.2230, 0.1220. The strain a1, X4, i11 were dominant strains. The ethanol yield of strain a1 was 15.6 g·L-1 at 72 h, 140% higher than the parent strain, and its ethanol-xylose ratio 37.9% higher than the parent strain. The ethanol yield of strain X4 was 15.4 g·L-1 at 60h, 234.8% higher than the parent strain, and its ethanol-xylose ratio 33.1% higher than the parent strain. The ethanol yield of strain i11 was 14.8 g·L-1 at 60h, 221.7% higher than the parent strain, and its ethanol-xylose ratio 29% higher than the parent strain. (authors)
