Screening for the Strain Galactomyces sp. Producing Bioflocculant by UV Mutagenesis

摘要

Strain Galactomyces sp. M-2 from activated sludge was used as parent strain and then UV mutation breeding was performed. Finally we obtained a quality strain UVM8 suitable for the production of bioflocculant which flocculating activity is 92.8%. It showed there is excellent stable flocculating activity for stain UVM8 in the flocculating stability experiment. Further studies showed the best flocculation effect was obtained when C/N ration is 20:2 and pH is 8 in the initial culture medium.
