Schizochytrium limacinum ATCC20888 was mutated by 60Co-γ ray irradiation. Using flat growth condition, biomass, oil content and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) yield as comprehensive indexes, a mutant strain 1.6-7-1 with high DHA yield was screened. The biomass of the strain was 47.37 g/L, oil content was 31.41%, and DHA yield was 5.65 g/L, which was increased by about 40% than the original strain. After five consecutive generations o...
