This document summarizes strain improvement studies done on Bacillus cereus MS-6 to increase its production of L-asparaginase enzyme. The wild strain was subjected to UV radiation, yielding mutant MUV-9 with a 7.84-fold increase in enzyme activity. Further mutagenesis with NTG produced mutant MNTG-7 with a 12.04-fold increase versus the wild strain. EMS mutagenesis of MNTG-7 did not significantly improve enzyme activity beyond the parent strain. The strain improvement program resulted in a mutant strain producing over 12 times more L-asparaginase than the original wild strain.
