Abstract: This paper has introduced mutation examples of microorganisms induced by ultra high pressure (UHP), such as the mutation of yeasts, bacilli, moulds and epiphytes. The mutation mechanisms and factors for affecting microorganisms have also discussed. Finally, UHP technology as a useful method to improve breeding in food and fermentation industry in the future has also proposed.

Key words: ultra high pressure, microorganism, mutation
