To breed industrially useful strains of a slow-growing, red-pigment-producing strain ofMonascus anka, protoplasts ofM. anka MAK1 (arg) andAspergillus oryzae AOK1 (met, thr) were fused. A mixture of protoplasts prepared from mycelia ofM. anka MAK1 treated with 2% Usukizyme and ofA. oryzae AOK1 treated with 2% Usukizyme and 0.2% NovoZym 234 was incubated with 30% (w/v) polyethylene glycol no. 6000. Heterokaryon fusants complementing the auxotrophies of both mutants were isolated on minimal medium, but segregated into red (MAK1) and white (AOK1) sectors after being cultured on a complete medium. After irradiation with UV light, the fusants gave stable heterozygous diploids that formed long white hyphae. These diploids, which had twice as much DNA in the nucleus as their parents, grew more rapidly than the parent strain YZT1, and produced ethanol earlier than the parents. Production of amylase, protease, and kojic acid by the fusants was intermediate in amount between that of the two parents. |
