Abstract:Objective To screen the excellent strains through microbial transformation, using 7β,15α-dihydroxy-18β- glycyrrhetinic acid as the target product. Methods Ten fungi (CGMCC 3.149, CGMCC 3.193, CGMCC 3.3402, CGMCC 3.739, CGMCC 3.2462, CGMCC 3.2886, CGMCC 3.3400, CGMCC 3.577, CGMCC 3.970, and Zw-4) were used for preliminary screening and re-screening experiments of transformed strains, the content of 7β,15α-dihydroxy-18β-glycyrrhetinic acid in the converted liquid was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The conversion rate of 7β,15α-dihydroxy-18β-glycyrrhetinic acid was used as the evaluation index and the strains with high conversion rate and consistent results of preliminary screening and re-screening experiments were selected as the excellent strains. 7β,15α-dihydroxy- 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid showed a good linear relationship in the range of 2.56~81.79 μg/ml. The strain with the highest conversion rate of preliminary screening experiment was CGMCC 3.3400. The strain with the highest conversion rate of re-screening experiment was CGMCC 3.970. Conclusion The excellent strain is CGMCC 3.970.
