Abstract:In order to improve the cyclic lipopeptide production and reduce the production cost of cyclic lipopeptide producer Bacillus velezensis G-1, this study used Alternaria alternata as the target, cheap rapeseed meal as the nitrogen source, and antifungal activity as the evaluation index. The effects on the synthesis of cyclic lipopeptides in B.velezensis G-1 was studied by single and compound mutagenic manner of ultraviolet, microwave, ARTP(atmospheric room temperature plasma), NTG (nitroso guanidine), DES (diethyl sulfate) and EMS (ethyl methylsulfonate) mutagenesis. It aims to establish an efficient mutagenesis method for high-yield B.velezensis G-1 cyclic lipopeptide mutants and to select high-yield strain with rapeseed meal as nitrogen source. The results showed that the forward mutation rate of chemical mutagenesis was significantly higher than that of physical mutagenesis in six kings of single mutagenic manner. The forward mutation rate of chemical mutagenesis was higher for NTG and EMS, 59.97% and 59.40%, respectively. In physical mutagenesis, ARTP mutagenesis has a higher forward mutation rate of 31.37%. The combined treatment of NTG 150 μg/mL, EMS 0.6 mol/L, and ARTP 160 s was a better mutagenesis scheme than any kinds of single mutagenesis. A high-yield cyclic lipopeptide mutant selected from the compound mutagenic strain could increase the production of cyclic lipopeptide by 2.33 times. The antifungal activity in vitro and living life increased by 52.20% and 96.55%, respectively. In this study, the three-level composite mutagenesis method of NTG+EMS+ARTP could successfully obtain the B.velezensis G-1 mutant with high-yield cyclic lipopeptide, and further selected mutants with high-yield cyclic lipopeptide by rapeseed meal. It lays a theoretical foundation for the industrial application of the mutant and its cyclic lipopeptides in the prevention of A. alternata infection after fruit and vegetable harvest.
