    Abstract:
    Pullulan is a microbial exopolysaccharide produced by Aureobasidium spp. with excellent physical and chemical properties, resulting in great application value. In this study, a novel strain RM1603 of Aureobasidium pullulans with high pullulan production of 51.0 ± 1.0 g·L- 1 isolated from rhizosphere soil was subjected to atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis, followed by selection of mutants to obtain pullulan high-producing strains. Finally, two mutants Mu0816 and Mu1519 were obtained, with polysaccharide productions of 58.7 ± 0.8 and 60.0 ± 0.8 g∙L- 1 after 72-h fermentation, representing 15.1 and 17.6% increases compared with the original strain, respectively. Transcriptome analysis of the two mutants and the original strain revealed that the high expression of α/β-hydrolase (ABHD), α-amylase (AMY1), and sugar porter family MFS transporters (SPF-MFS) in the mutants may be related to the synthesis and secretion of pullulan. These results demonstrated the effectiveness of ARTP mutagenesis in A. pullulans, providing a basis for the investigation of genes related to pullulan synthesis and secretion.
