The aim of this study was to improve l-lactic acid production of Lactobacillus thermophilus SRZ50. For this purpose, high efficient heavy-ion mutagenesis technique was performed using SRZ50 as the original strain. To enhance the screening efficiency for high yield l-lactic acid producers, a scale-down from shake flask to microtiter plate was developed. The results showed that 24-well U-bottom MTPs could well alternate shake flasks for L. thermophilus cultivation as a scale-down tool due to its a very good comparability to the shake flasks. Based on this microtiter plate screening method, two high l-lactic acid productivity mutants, A59 and A69, were successfully screened out, which presented, respectively, 15.8 and 16.2% higher productivities than that of the original strain. Based on fed-batch fermentation, the A69 mutant can accumulate 114.2 g/L l-lactic acid at 96 h. Hence, the proposed traditional microbial breeding method with efficient high-throughput screening assay was proved to be an appropriate strategy to obtain lactic acid-overproducing strain.
