Abstract
To obtain a yeast mutant with high RNA content and high growth rate, Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTY62 was mutated with ethylmethane sulfonate. Among the selected mutants that were sensitive to the high concentration of KCl, M40-10 strain was finally selected due to its rapid cell growth and high RNA content in the tube and baffled-flask cultures. In the batch culture of M40-10 mutant, the maximum specific growth rate ($\mu_{max}$) of $0.38 h^{-1}$ , RNA concentration of 3210 mg-RNA/1, and RNA content of 183 mg-RNA/g-DCW were obtained, which were 23%, 15%, and 12% increased levels, respectively, compared to those of MTY62 parent strain. The intermittent fed-batch culture of M40-10 strain resulted in the maximum cell concentration of 35.6 g-DCW/1, RNA concentration of 5677 mg/1, and RNA content of 160 mg-RNA/g-DCW. Through the constant fed-batch culture, the maximum cell concentration of 46.4 g-DCW/1, RNA concentration of 6270 mg-RNA/1, and RNA content of 135 mg-RNA/g-DCW were obtained. At the 20 h culture time in the fed-batch cultures of M40-10 strain, the cell and RNA concentrations were increased by 30% and 10%, respectively, over the parent strain MTY62. In addition, it was also found that the accumulated RNA within the mutant cell was not degraded until the end of fed-batch cultivation, indicating that the M40-10 cell is a mutant with weak acidic RNase activity.y.
