Abstract

In this study, the endophytes in methionine-rich Rhus chinensis seeds were screened for high methionine producing strains.The methionine producing endophytes were screened, identified, and further bred with methionine analogs and 60Co-γ-ray mutagenesis.Subsequently, response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of glucose, sodium sulfate and farnesol on methionine production of the strains.Results showed that the strain LB-2 with high methionine yield was identified as micrococcus by 16S rRNA sequence analysis and morphological identification.Subsequently, the strain LB-2-13 with higher methionine yield was obtained by mutagenesis breeding.The highest yield of methionine in the fermentation broth could be achieved at 2.85 g/L under the incubation conditions of 14.70 g/L glucose, 0.98 g/L sodium sulfate, and 96.35 μmol/L farnesol by single-factor and response surface method optimization, which increased the yield by about 88%.In this study, plant endophytes were used as the original strains to screen high methionine yielding strains for the first time.Furthermore, high-producing methionine strains were effectively bred with methionine analogs and 60Co γ-ray mutagenesis.This study could provide technical support for the industrial production of methionine by microbial fermentation.
