N+ ion implantation was used to mutate Saccharomyces cerevisiae NJWGYH30566 for obtaining higher-yield erythritol strain. The original strain was mutated by 15keV N+ ion implantation with the dose of 20×1014cm-2, 40×1014cm-2, 60×1014cm-2, 80×1014cm-2, 100×1014cm-2, and 120×1014cm-2, respectively. Results showed that the optimal N+ ion dose was 80×1014cm-2, and a strain of high-yield erythritol was obtained and named as H-32. Erythritol yield of the mutant was increased by 17.52%, and by-product glycerol was decreased by 26.9% compared to those of the original strain. Subculture results showed that the mutant strains had high genetic stability.
