Abstract: Agrobacterium radiobacter AR01 was mutagenized using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and subsequent lithium chloride treatment to obtain a high-yield neutral phytase-producing strain. The neutral phytase activity of the strain reached up to 18.49 U/mL after 96 h cultivation at pH 7.0, 30 ℃ and an inoculum amount of 10%, which was 47.68% higher than that of the original strain. The fermentation cycle was shortened by 12 h. Moreover, the mutant strain showed good hereditary stability.

Key words: neutral phytase, mutation induced by both UV and lithium chloride, enzymatic activity, stability
