The invention relates to an
aspergillus nidulans strain with high yield of
theabrownin and application thereof. The
aspergillus nidulans strain is preserved in China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center on December 1, 2025, the preservation name of the
aspergillus nidulans strain is
Aspergillus nidulans A-17, and the preservation number of the
aspergillus nidulans strain is CGMCC (China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center) No. 42334. The
aspergillus nidulans provided by the invention has efficient
theabrownin production capacity, does not produce
mycotoxin, and can be applied to
theabrownin industrial production; meanwhile, the strain can also be inoculated with tea leaves and a tea extracting solution for
fermentation, and is used for industrially producing high-theabrownin dark tea and high-theabrownin
instant tea. In addition, the strain can significantly reduce the delicate
flavor and
astringent taste of tea leaves, endows the tea leaves with stale
flavor and mellow taste, and can be used for producing high-quality dark tea. The
aspergillus nidulans provided by the invention has strong capability of producing theabrownin, has no
safety risk, provides high-quality microbial
germplasm resources for preparing theabrownin, high-theabrownin tea products and high-quality dark tea, and has a good industrial application prospect.
