The invention relates to the technical field of microbial
fermentation and
food processing, and particularly discloses
Weissella fusiformis JMF-006 as well as a
mutagenesis method and application thereof. The invention provides a
Weissella fusiformis JMF-006 with the exopolysaccharide yield of 20-25g / L. The
Weissella fusiformis JMF-006 is obtained by breeding through a
mutation breeding method of a high-yield EPS strain, and the
mutation breeding method can also be used for culturing other high-yield EPS strains. The invention provides a strain composition, the strain composition comprises Weissella fusiformis JMF-006 or a high-yield EPS strain, other
lactic acid bacteria strains (such as
lactobacillus plantarum JMF-001 and
lactobacillus casei JMF-002) can be further compounded, and the obtained strain composition has more excellent
fermentation performance. When the Weissella fusiformis JMF-006, the high-yield EPS strain and the strain composition provided by the invention are applied to the
fermentation process of food-derived drinks, a fermented product with stable properties and better
flavor can be obtained, and the technical problems that the yield of
extracellular polymeric substances is low, the fermentation performance is poor and the application range is narrow in an existing
lactic acid bacteria starter are solved.
