HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING OF LACTIC ACID-PRODUCING MICROORGANISM

摘要

PURPOSE: A high throughput screening system and a method of lactic acid-producing strains using two or more pH indicators are provided to quickly and accurately screen strains. CONSTITUTION: A high throughput screening system of lactic acid-producing strains contains the strain, a medium, and two or more pH indicators. The strains are a wild type strain, a mutant strain, and a recombinant strain. The pH indicators contain bromocresol green and methyl red in a ratio of 2:1-10:1. A method for screening the lactic acid-producing strains comprises: a step of adding the pH indicators to a medium; a step of culturing the strains; and a step of observing color change of the pH indicators, and measuring lactic acid production quantity.
