摘要：

Mutagenesis of Phaffia rhodozyma with NTG yielded a mutant with an astaxanthin content of 1688 mug (g dry biomass)-1, a cell yield coefficient of 0.4 7 on glucose and a maximum specific growth rate of 0.12 h-1. Re-mutation of the mutant decreased the cell yield and maximum specific growth rate but increased the astaxanthin content. The use of mannitol or succinate as carbon sources enhanced pigmentation, yielding astaxanthin contents of 1973 mug g-1 and 1926 mug g-1, respectively. The use of valine as sole nitrogen source also increased astaxanthin production, but severely decreased the maximum specific growth rate and cell yield coefficient. The optimum pH for growth of P. rhodozyma was between pH 4.5 and 5.5, whereas the astaxanthin content remained constant above pH 3.
