Abstract: One of key factors,which hindered producing androst-4-ene-3,17-dione(AD)on industrial scale is that the yield of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione is low.The microorganism of Mycobacterium sp.BD696# was treated by complex mutagenesis of UV,60Co and UV+60Co ray irradiation.And AD transformation productivity was 39.2% higher than that of its parent strain and no androst-1,4-ene-3,17-dione was obtained.The fifth stain also had stable transformation productivity.The results showed that complex mutagenesis of UV+60Co ray irradiation is a good methed for mutation breeding.

Key words: mutation breeding, UV light, androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, bioconversion
