Abstract
With the world's population rapidly increasing, the demand for high-quality protein is on the rise. Edible fungi breeding technology stands as a crucial avenue to obtain strains with high yield, high-quality protein, and robust stress resistance. To address the protein supply gap, Atmospheric and Room Temperature Plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis, and spore hybridization techniques were employed to enhance Pleurotus djamor mycelium protein production. Beginning with the original strain Pleurotus djamor JD-1, ARTP was utilized to mutate spore suspension. The optimal treatment time for Pleurotus djamor spores, determined to achieve optimal mortality, was 240 s. Through primary and secondary screenings, 6 mutant strains out of 39 were selected, exhibiting improved protein yield and growth rates compared to the original strain. Among these mutagenic strains, 240S-4 showcased the highest performance, with a mycelial growth rate of 9.5±0.71 mm/d, a biomass of 21.45±0.54 g/L, a protein content of 28.75±0.92%, and a remarkable protein promotion rate of 128.03±7.29%. Additionally, employing spore hybridization and breeding, 7 single-nuclei strains were selected for pin-two hybridization, resulting in 21 hybrid strains. The biomass and protein content of 9 hybrid strains surpassed those of the original strains. One hybrid strain, H-5, exhibited remarkable mycelial protein production, boasting a mycelial growth rate of 26.5±0.7 mm/d, a biomass of 21.70±0.46 g/L, a protein content of 28.44±0.22%, and a protein promotion rate of 128.02±1.73%. Notably, both strains demonstrated about a 28% higher mycelial protein yield than the original strains, indicating comparable effectiveness between hybrid breeding and mutagenesis breeding. Finally, we analyzed the original and selected strains by molecular biological identification, which further proved the effectiveness of the breeding method. These findings present novel insights and serve as a reference for enhancing edible fungi breeding, offering promising avenues to meet the escalating protein demand.

Abstract
D-arabitol, a versatile compound with applications in food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical industries, faces challenges in biomanufacturing due to poor chassis performance and unclear synthesis mechanisms. This study aimed to enhance the performance of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii to improve D-arabitol production. Firstly, a mutant strain Z. rouxii M075 obtained via atmospheric and room temperature plasma-mediated mutagenesis yielded 42.0 g/L of D-arabitol at 96 h, with about 50 % increase. Transcriptome-guided metabolic engineering of pathway key enzymes co-expression produced strain ZR-M3, reaching 48.9 g/L D-arabitol after 96 h fermentation. Finally, under optimized conditions, fed-batch fermentation of ZR-M3 in a 5 L bioreactor yielded an impressive D-arabitol titer of 152.8 g/L at 192 h, with a productivity of 0.8 g/L/h. This study highlights promising advancements in enhancing D-arabitol production, offering potential for more efficient biomanufacturing processes and wider industrial applications.

Abstract
Macrolactins are a type of compound with complex macrolide structure which mainly be obtained through microbiological fermentation now. They have excellent antifungal, antibacterial and antitumor activity. In order to improve macrolactins production, Bacillus siamensis YB304 was used as the research object, and a mutant Mut-K53 with stable genetic characters was selected by UV-ARTP compound mutagenesis. The yield of macrolactins was 156.46 mg/L, 3.95 times higher than original strain. The metabolic pathway changes and regulatory mechanism of macrolactins were analyzed by quantitative proteomics combined with parallel reaction monitoring. This study revealed that 1794 proteins were extracted from strain YB304 and strain Mut-K53, most of them were related to metabolism. After UV-ARTP compound mutagenesis treatment, the expression of 628 proteins were significantly changed, of which 299 proteins were significantly up-regulated. KEGG pathway analysis showed that differentially expression proteins mainly distributed in biological process, cellular component, and molecular function processing pathways. Such as utilization of carbon sources, glycolysis pathway, and amino acid metabolism pathway. Furthermore, key precursor substances such as acyl-CoA and amino acids of macrolactin biosynthesis are mostly up-regulated, which are one of the main reasons for increased production of macrolactin.This study will provide a new way to increase the yield of macrolactins through mutagenesis breeding and proteomics.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel chlorophyll-deficient mutant of Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa named A4-1 was generated by atmospheric room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis. Compared to the green wild type (WT) strain, the A4-1 mutant cultured in the dark displayed yellow colour with a 118-fold decrease of chlorophyll a and no detected chlorophyll b. Higher contents of protein (44.22 % DW), total amino acids (AAs, 34.84 % DW) and essential AAs (17.50 % DW) were also achieved, showing 31 %, 22 % and 30 % increases compared to the WT, respectively (p < 0.05). Metabolite profile analysis revealed that the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway in the A4-1 mutant was probably inhibited in the dark, while more carbon skeletons might be utilized for de novo AAs synthesis. These results demonstrated that the A4-1 mutant not only has extremely low chlorophyll content, but also has higher protein content, making it a very promising candidate to produce microalgal protein for future foods.

Abstract
AIMS We evaluated whether the randomness of mutation breeding can be regulated through a double-reporter system. We hope that by establishing a new precursor feeding strategy, the production capacity of industrial microorganisms after pilot scale-up can be further improved. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the industrial strain Streptomyces roseosporus L2796 was used as the starter strain for daptomycin production, and a double-reporter system with the kanamycin resistance gene Neo and the chromogenic gene gusA was constructed to screen for high-yield strain L2201 through atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP). Furthermore, the composition of the culture medium and the parameters of precursor replenishment were optimized, resulting in a significant enhancement of the daptomycin yield of the mutant strain L2201(752.67 mg/l). CONCLUSIONS This study successfully screened a high-yield strain of daptomycin through a double-reporter system combined with ARTP mutation. The expression level of two reporter genes can evaluate the strength of dptEp promoter, which can stimulate the expression level of dptE in the biosynthesis of daptomycin, thus producing more daptomycin. The developed multi-stage feeding rate strategy provides a novel way to increase daptomycin in industrial fermentation.

Abstract
Soy sauce, as a traditional seasoning, is widely favoured by Chinese and other Asian people for its unique colour, smell, and taste. In this study, a salt-tolerance Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain HF-130 was obtained via three rounds of ARTP (Atmospheric and Room Temperature Plasma) mutagenesis and high-salt based screening. The ethanol production of mutant HF-130 was increased by 98.8% in very high gravity fermentation. Furthermore, ATF1 gene was overexpressed in strain HF-130, generating ester-producing strain HF-130-ATF1. The ethyl acetate concentration of strain HF-130-ATF1 was increased by 130% compared to the strain HF-130. Finally, the soy sauce fermentation performance of Torulopsis globosa and HF-130-ATF1 was compared with T. globosa, HF-130, HF-130-ATF1, and Torulopsis and HF-130. Results showed ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate concentrations in co-fermentation of T. globosa and HF-130-ATF1 were increased by 2.8-fold and 3.3-fold, respectively. In addition, the concentrations of ethyl propionate, ethyl caprylate, phenylethyl acetate, ethyl caprate, isobutyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, phenylethyl alcohol, and phenylacetaldehyde were also improved. Notably, other three important flavour components, trimethylsilyl decyl ester, 2-methylbutanol, and octanoic acid were also detected in the co-fermentation of T. globosa and HF-130-ATF1, but not detected in the control strain T. globosa. This work is of great significance for improving the traditional soy sauce fermentation mode, and thus improving the flavour formation of soy sauce.

Abstract
In recent times, L-asparaginase has emerged as a potential anti-carcinogen through hydrolysis of L-asparagine in the blood for anti-leukemic application, and in carbohydrate-based foods, for acrylamide reduction applications. In this study, Aspergillus sydowii strain UCCM 00124 produced an L-asparaginase with a baseline acrylamide reduction potential of 64.5% in sweet potato chips. Plasma mutagenesis at atmospheric pressure and room temperature (ARTP) was employed to improve L-asparaginase production while artificial neural network embedded with genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) and global sensitivity analysis were used to identify and optimize process conditions for improved acrylamide reduction in sweet potato chips. The ARTP mutagenesis generated a valine-deficient mutant, Val-Asp-S-180-L with 2.5-fold L-asparaginase improvement. The ANN-GA hybrid evolutionary intelligence significantly improved process efficiency to 98.18% under optimized conditions set as 118.6 °C, 726.37 g/L asparagine content, 9.92 µg/mL L-asparaginase, 4.54% NaCl, and soaking time of 15 h without significant changes in sensory properties. The sensitivity index revealed initial asparagine content as the most sensitive parameter to the bioprocess. The enzyme demonstrated significant thermo-stability with Arrhenius deactivation rate constant, Kd, of 0.00562 min-1 and half-life, t1/2, of 123.35 min at 338 K. These conditions are recommended for sustainable healthier, and safer sweet potato chips processing in the food industry.

Abstract
Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a plant growth hormone that plays an important role in the production of crops, fruits, and vegetables with a wide market share. Due to intrinsic advantages, liquid fermentation of Fusarium fujikuroi has become the sole method for industrial GA3 production, but the broader application of GA3 is hindered by low titer. In this study, we combined atmospheric and room-temperature plasma (ARTP) with ketoconazole-based screening to obtain the mutant strain 3-6-1 with high yield of GA3. Subsequently, the medium composition and fermentation parameters were systematically optimized to increase the titer of GA3, resulting in a 2.5-fold increase compared with the titer obtained under the initial conditions. Finally, considering that the strain is prone to substrate inhibition and glucose repression, a new strategy of fed-batch fermentation was adopted to increase the titer of GA3 to 575.13 mg/L, which was 13.86% higher than the control. The strategy of random mutagenesis combined with selection and fermentation optimization developed in this study provides a basis for subsequent research on the industrial production of GA3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surfactin, a good biological surfactant, is derived from the metabolites of microorganisms. However, the ability of natural strains to produce surfactin is low, and so the presented study aimed to use a novel mutagenesis technology to increase their yields. RESULTS Atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) was used to conduct mutation breeding of Bacillus subtilis CICC 10721, and a mutant strain M45 with a higher surfactin yield of 34.2% and a stable subculture was screened out. From the fermentation kinetics study, it was found that the maximum cell dry weight, maximum growth rate and surfactin synthesis parameters of the mutant strain M45 were all greater than that of the original strain. Scanning electron microscope and laser scanning confocal microscope observations showed that the spore morphology changed after ARTP treating, and the intracellular Ca2+ concentration of the mutant increased. Genome resequencing analysis showed that 66 single nucleotide poymorphism non-synonymous mutation sites occurred in M45, and the identification results of the fermentation broth extract from M45 showed that it is composed of C12 -C16 surfactin. CONCLUSION ARTP mutagenesis was found to change the morphology of bacteria, membrane permeability and genes related to the synthesis and secretion of surfactin. The present study provides a basis for industrial production of surfactin and an understanding of the mutagenesis mechanism. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
High DHA production cost caused by low DHA titer and productivity of the current Schizochytrium strains is a bottleneck for its application in competition with traditional fish-oil based approach. In this study, atmospheric and room-temperature plasma with iodoacetic acid and dehydroepiandrosterone screening led to three mutants, 6–8, 6–16 and 6–23 all with increased growth and DHA accumulations. A LC/MS metabolomic analysis revealed the increased metabolism in PPP and EMP as well as the decreased TCA cycle might be relevant to the increased growth and DHA biosynthesis in the mutants. Finally, the mutant 6–23, which achieved the highest growth and DHA accumulation among all mutants, was evaluated in a 5 L fermentor. The results showed that the DHA concentration and productivity in mutant 6–23 were 41.4 g/L and 430.7 mg/L/h in fermentation for 96 h, respectively, which is the highest reported so far in literature. The study provides a novel strain improvement strategy for DHA-producing Schizochytrium.

Abstract
l-glutamine is a semi-essential amino acid widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The microbial synthesis of l-glutamine is limited by lack of effective strains with high titer and safety. First, ARTP mutagenesis combined with high-throughput screening generated an l-glutamine-producing strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum with titer of 25.7 ± 2.7 g/L. Subsequently, a series of rational metabolic approaches were used to further improve l-glutamine production, which included increasing the carbon flow to l-glutamine (proB and NCgl1221 knockout), enhancing the catalytic efficiency of the key enzyme (glnE knockout and glnA screening and overexpression) and reinforcement of ATP regeneration (ppk overexpression and RBS optimization). Finally, we proposed a two-stage pH control strategy to address the inconsistent effect of pH on cell growth and l-glutamine production. These combined strategies led to a 186.0% increase of l-glutamine titer compared to that of the initial strain, reaching 73.5 ± 3.1 g/L with a yield of 0.368 ± 0.034 g/g glucose.

Abstract
Background Hericium erinaceus, a rare edible and medicine fungus, is widely used in the food and medical field. Polysaccharides from H. erinaceus are the main bioactive compound that exert high bioactive value in the medical and healthcare industries. Results The genome of H. erinaceus original strain HEA was reported 38.16 Mb, encoding 9780 predicted genes by single-molecule, real-time sequencing technology. The phylogenomic analysis showed that H. erinaceus had the closest evolutionary affinity with Dentipellis sp. The polysaccharide content in the fermented mycelia of mutated strains HEB and HEC, which obtained by ARTP mutagenesis in our previous study, was improved by 23.25 and 47.45%, and a new β-glucan fraction with molecular weight 1.056 × 106 Da was produced in HEC. Integrative analysis of transcriptome and proteomics showed the upregulation of the carbohydrate metabolism pathway modules in HEB and HEC might lead to the increased production of glucose-6P and promote the repeating units synthesis of polysaccharides. qPCR and PRM analysis confirmed that most of the co-enriched and differentially co-expressed genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism shared a similar expression trend with the transcriptome and proteome data in HEB and HEC. Heatmap analysis showed a noticeably decreased protein expression profile of the RAS-cAMP-PKA pathway in HEC with a highly increased 47.45% of polysaccharide content. The S phase progression blocking experiment further verified that the RAS-cAMP-PKA pathway’s dysfunction might promote high polysaccharide and β-glucan production in the mutant strain HEC. Conclusions The study revealed the primary mechanism of the increased polysaccharide synthesis induced by ARTP mutagenesis and explored the essential genes and pathways of polysaccharide synthesis.

Abstract
Sponges, the most primitive multicellular animals, contain a large number of unique microbial communities. Sponge-associated microorganisms, particularly actinomyces, have the potential to produce diverse active natural products. However, a large number of silent secondary metabolic gene clusters have failed to be revived under laboratory culture conditions. In this study, iterative atmospheric room-temperature plasma. (ARTP) mutagenesis coupled with multi-omics conjoint analysis was adopted to activate the inactive wild Streptomyces strain. The desirable exposure time employed in this study was 75 s to obtain the appropriate lethality rate (94%) and mutation positive rate (40.94%). After three iterations of ARTP mutagenesis, the proportion of mutants exhibiting antibacterial activities significantly increased by 75%. Transcriptome analysis further demonstrated that the differential gene expression levels of encoding type I lasso peptide aborycin had a significant upward trend in active mutants compared with wild-type strains, which was confirmed by LC-MS results with a relative molecular mass of 1082.43 ([M + 2H]2+ at m/z = 2164.86). Moreover, metabolome comparative analysis of the mutant and wild-type strains showed that four spectra or mass peaks presented obvious differences in terms of the total ion count or extracting ion current profiles with each peak corresponding to a specific compound exhibiting moderate antibacterial activity against Gram-positive indicators. Taken together, our data suggest that the ARTP treatment method coupled with multi-omics profiling analysis could be used to estimate the valid active molecules of metabolites from microbial crudes without requiring a time-consuming isolation process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global production of glycerol is increasing year by year since the demands of biodiesel is rising. It is benefit for high-yield succinate synthesis due to its high reducing property. A. succinogenes, a succinate-producing candidate, cannot grow on glycerol anaerobically, as it needs a terminal electron acceptor to maintain the balance of intracellular NADH and NAD+. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) has been widely used to release extra intracellular electrons. However, A. succinogenes is a non-electroactive strain which need the support of electron shuttle in MFC, and pervious research showed that acid-tolerant A. succinogenes has higher content of unsaturated fatty acids, which may be beneficial for the transmembrane transport of lipophilic electron shuttle. RESULTS MFC-assisted succinate production was evaluated using neutral red as an electron shuttle to recover the glycerol utilization. First, an acid-tolerant mutant JF1315 was selected by atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis aiming to improve transmembrane transport of neutral red (NR). Additionally, MFC was established to increase the ratio of oxidized NR to reduced NR. By combining these two strategies, ability of JF1315 for glycerol utilization was significantly enhanced, and 23.92 g/L succinate was accumulated with a yield of 0.88 g/g from around 30 g/L initial glycerol, along with an output voltage above 300 mV. CONCLUSIONS A novel MFC-assisted system was established to improve glycerol utilization by A. succinogenes for succinate and electricity production, making this system as a platform for chemicals production and electrical supply simultaneously.

Abstract
In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the expression of multiple aromatic compounds by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The concentration of l-tyrosine, as a precursor of such valuable compounds, is crucial for the biosynthesis of aromatic metabolites. In this study, a novel function of HTZ1 was found to be related to tyrosine biosynthesis, which has not yet been reported. Knockout of this gene could significantly improve the ability of yeast cells to synthesize tyrosine, and its p-coumaric acid (p-CA) titer was approximately 3.9-fold higher than that of the wild-type strain BY4742. Subsequently, this strain was selected for random mutagenesis through an emerging mutagenesis technique, namely, atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP). After two rounds of mutagenesis, five tyrosine high-producing mutants were obtained. The highest production of p-CA was 7.6-fold higher than that of the wild-type strain. Finally, transcriptome data of the htz1Δ strain and the five mutants were analyzed. The genome of mutagenic strains was also resequenced to reveal the mechanism underlying the high titer of tyrosine. This system of target engineering combined with random mutagenesis to screen excellent mutants provides a new basis for synthetic biology.

Abstract
AIMS To obtain the high-yield strain of fusidic acid, which is produced from fungus Fusidium coccineum and is the only fusidane-type antibiotic that has been used clinically, and confirm the changes in the transcription levels involved in increasing its production. METHODS AND RESULTS By using the atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutagenesis technology, a high-yield mutant strain of fusidic acid-producing fungus F. coccineum was obtained. Using the genomic analysis of the original strain based on biosynthetic pathways of ergosterol and helvolic acid, we demonstrate that the pathway involved in the biosynthesis of 2,3-oxidosqualene from acetyl coenzyme A was shared by fusidic acid and ergosterol, and fusidic acid was finally synthesized by the catalysis of multiple cytochrome P450s and short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase from 2,3-oxidosqualene. Then, through the transcriptomic analysis of the original and mutagenized strain, it revealed that the proposed pathway from sucrose to fusidic acid was the most significantly up-regulated in the transcription levels of the mutant strain. CONCLUSIONS The changes in the transcription levels of fusidic acid during its biosynthesis might result in high-yield of fusidic acid in the mutant strain. This is the first report on the whole biosynthetic pathway of fusidic acid in F. coccineum. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study obtain the genetic basis for the biosynthesis of fusidic acid which could be beneficial for the molecular modifications of F. coccineum to further increase its yield by fermentation in future, and established the foundation to reveal the mechanism of the high-yield of the mutant strain.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the random mutagenesis of Clostridium butyricum strain. A high 1,3-PD tolerant mutant strain, designated as C. butyricum YP855, was developed from the wild strain C. butyricum XYB11, using combined chemical (NTG, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine,) and plasma-based mutagenesis (ARTP, atmospheric and room temperature plasma). The YP855 showed a maximum tolerance of 85 g/L to 1,3-PD (up to 30.8% increase) when compared with the tolerance exhibited by the wild strain. Under the optimum conditions as established by the response surface methodology (RSM), the mutant strain produced 37.20 g/L of 1,3-PD, which is 29.48% higher than the concentration obtained from the wild strain (28.73 g/L). This research would offer information for further development of the biosynthesis of 1,3-PD by the mutant strain of C. butyricum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing fresh water consumption and nutrient addition will be an effective way to reduce the whole cost of bioethanol production. On the other hand, treatment of biogas slurry derived from anaerobic digestion (AD), in which a great amount of nutrients is still left, costs too much to remove these pollutants. It would be beneficial for both digestate valorization and ethanol production if biogas slurry is used for producing bioethanol. However, both hyperosmosis and potential biotoxic components of the biogas slurry can severely inhibit fermentation. RESULTS In this study, two rounds of atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis combined with adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) were applied to improve the adaptability and genetic stability of Zymomonas mobilis in biogas slurry. Mutants D95 and S912 were identified. Growth of the mutants was remarkably improved in biogas slurry. The highest ethanol productivity reached 0.63 g/L/h which was 61.7% higher than ZM4 (0.39 g/L/h). Genomic re-sequencing results also revealed that single nucleic variations (SNVs) and Indels occurred in the mutants, which are likely related to inhibitor in biogas slurry and low pH tolerance. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that these mutant strains have great potential to produce ethanol using biogas slurry to replace fresh water and nutrients.

Abstract
Background Artificial induction of mutagenesis is effective for genetic resource innovation and breeding. However, the traditional mutation methods for fish breeding are not convenient or safe for daily use. Hence, development of a simple, safe and effective mutagenesis method with a high mutation rate and applicability to multiple fish species, is needed. Results We reported the first successful mutagenesis in a marine aquaculture fish species, Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, using a novel atmosphere and room temperature plasma (ARTP) mutagenesis tool. ARTP treatment time was optimized for the fertilized eggs and sperm, respectively. Eggs fertilized for 60 min were treated by ARTP with a radio-frequency power input of 120 W, and the ARTP treatment time was 25 min. Under an ARTP radio-frequency power input of 200 W, the optimal treatment time for sperm diluted with Ringer’s solution by 1:40 v/v was 10 min. The ARTP-treated group presented differences in morphological traits such as body height, total length among individuals at day 90 after hatching. Whole-genome sequencing was used to reveal the mutation features of ARTP-treated individuals collected at day 120 after hatching. In total, 69.25Gb clean data were obtained from three controls and eight randomly selected ARTP-treated individuals, revealing 240,722 to 322,978 SNPs and 82,149 to 86,798 InDels located in 17,394~18,457 and 12,907~13,333 genes, respectively. The average mutation rate reached 0.064% at the genome level. Gene ontology clustering indicated that genes associated with cell components, binding function, catalytic activity, cellular process, metabolic process and biological regulation processes had higher mutation rates. Conclusions ARTP mutagenesis is a useful method for breeding of fish species to accelerate the selection of economically important traits that would benefit the aquaculture industry, given the variety of mutations detected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid pigment with tremendous antioxidant activity and great commercial value. Microbial production of astaxanthin via metabolic engineering has become a promising alternative. Although great efforts have been conducted by tuning the heterologous modules and precursor pools, the astaxanthin yields in these non-carotenogenic microorganisms were still unsatisfactory for commercialization, indicating that in addition to targeted tailoring limited targets guided by rationally metabolic design, combining more globe disturbances in astaxanthin biosynthesis system and uncovering new molecular mechanisms seem to be much more crucial for further development. Since combined metabolic engineering with mutagenesis by screening is a powerful tool to achieve more global variations and even uncover more molecular targets, this study would apply a comprehensive approach integrating heterologous module engineering and mutagenesis by atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) to promote astaxanthin production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. RESULTS Here, compared to the strain with β-carotene hydroxylase (CrtZ) from Alcaligenes sp. strain PC-1, involving new CrtZ from Agrobacterium aurantiacum enhanced astaxanthin yield to 1.78-fold and increased astaxanthin ratio to 88.7% (from 66.6%). Astaxanthin yield was further increased by 0.83-fold (to 10.1 mg/g DCW) via ARTP mutagenesis, which is the highest reported yield at shake-flask level in yeast so far. Three underlying molecular targets (CSS1, YBR012W-B and DAN4) associated with astaxanthin biosynthesis were first uncovered by comparative genomics analysis. To be noted, individual deletion of CSS1 can recover 75.6% improvement on astaxanthin yield achieved by ARTP mutagenesis, indicating CSS1 was a very promising molecular target for further development. Eventually, 217.9 mg/L astaxanthin (astaxanthin ratio was 89.4% and astaxanthin yield was up to 13.8 mg/g DCW) was obtained in 5-L fermenter without any addition of inducers. CONCLUSIONS Through integrating rational engineering of pathway modules and random mutagenesis of hosts efficiently, our report stepwise promoted astaxanthin yield to achieve the highest reported one in yeast so far. This work not only breaks the upper ceiling of astaxanthin production in yeast, but also fulfills the underlying molecular targets pools with regard to isoprenoid microbial overproductions.

Abstract
Background Alkaline amylase has significant potential for applications in the textile, paper and detergent industries, however, low yield of which cannot meet the requirement of industrial application. In this work, a novel ARTP mutagenesis-screening method and fermentation optimization strategies were used to significantly improve the expression level of recombinant alkaline amylase in B. subtilis 168. Results The activity of alkaline amylase in mutant B. subtilis 168 mut-16# strain was 1.34-fold greater than that in the wild-type, and the highest specific production rate was improved from 1.31 U/(mg·h) in the wild-type strain to 1.57 U/(mg·h) in the mutant strain. Meanwhile, the growth of B. subtilis was significantly enhanced by ARTP mutagenesis. When the agitation speed was 550 rpm, the highest activity of recombinant alkaline amylase was 1.16- and 1.25-fold of the activities at 450 and 650 rpm, respectively. When the concentration of soluble starch and soy peptone in the initial fermentation medium was doubled, alkaline amylase activity was increased 1.29-fold. Feeding hydrolyzed starch and soy peptone mixture or glucose significantly improved cell growth, but inhibited the alkaline amylase production in B. subtilis 168 mut-16#. The highest alkaline amylase activity by feeding hydrolyzed starch reached 591.4 U/mL, which was 1.51-fold the activity by feeding hydrolyzed starch and soy peptone mixture. Single pulse feeding-based batch feeding at 10 h favored the production of alkaline amylase in B. subtilis 168 mut-16#. Conclusion The results indicated that this novel ARTP mutagenesis-screening method could significantly improve the yield of recombinant proteins in B. subtilis. Meanwhile, fermentation optimization strategies efficiently promoted expression of recombinant alkaline amylase in B. subtilis 168 mut-16#. These findings have great potential for facilitating the industrial-scale production of alkaline amylase and other enzymes, using B. subtilis cultures as microbial cell factories.
