Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This specification relates to the field of microbial technology, and particularly to a highly efficient fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium and its application. Background Art
[0002] In the global antibiotic market, the consumption of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) accounts for 17% of the total, and they are widely used in many fields such as clinical medicine and aquaculture. They are one of the main types of antibiotics in various surface waters and soils. After being absorbed by the animal intestine, more than half of the FQs will be excreted from the body in the form of the original form or metabolites through feces and urine, resulting in a large amount of active ingredients entering the natural environment, and generating a series of more toxic metabolic and degradation intermediate products, inducing microorganisms to gradually develop resistance to them, affecting their normal growth or reproduction, causing the enrichment of drug-resistant flora and the generation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). After entering the food chain, they ultimately pose a potential threat to human health.
[0003] Currently, bacteria that can degrade FQs screened from the environment include Ochrobactrum, Thermus, Paraclostridium, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Micrococcus, Rhodococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter, etc. However, there are not many research examples on using highly drug-resistant strains to degrade fluoroquinolone antibiotics at present. And due to obstacles such as high-concentration mixed pollutants and limited availability of nutrients, the efficiency of inoculated microorganisms in the natural environment is poor, which is one of the main challenges in the effective degradation of new antibiotic pollutants by microorganisms in the natural environment.
[0004] The pollution of fluoroquinolone antibiotics poses a potential threat to human health. Microbial degradation is an effective method for removing antibiotics, and people are looking forward to microorganisms with strong drug resistance, high efficiency, and ecological safety characteristics.

[0031]
[0032] The fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03 provided by the present invention was screened from farmland soil where pig manure was frequently applied.

[0035] The present invention also provides a biological preparation, comprising the fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03 as described above, its bacterial suspension, and culture solution, and the biological preparation is used for degrading fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
[0036] The present invention also provides the use of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03 as described above or the biological preparation as described above in degrading fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

X03 as described above or the biological preparation as described above to degrade the material to be degraded containing fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
[0038] Furthermore, for the aforementioned fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03 or biological preparation, based on the mass of the highly efficient fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03, the inoculation amount is 4% - 6%, preferably 5%.
[0039] In the present invention, the mass concentration of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in the aforementioned material to be degraded is 0.5 - 1 mg / L, preferably 0.5 mg / L or 1 mg / L.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned fluoroquinolone antibiotics can be enrofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and moxifloxacin. Specifically, the fluoroquinolone antibiotic can be enrofloxacin.
[0041] In the present invention, the temperature of the aforementioned degradation is 20 - 40 °C, preferably 30 °C; the pH value of the aforementioned degradation is preferably 6.5 - 7.5, preferably 7.0.
[0042] The culture media used in the following examples are as follows:
[0043] Basal medium: It is used for the preliminary screening and enrichment of ENR-degrading bacteria and the study of ENR degradation performance. The main components (per liter) are: 1.0 g of CH3COONa, 1.5 g of (NH4)2SO4, 1.5 g of K2HPO4, 0.5 g of KH2PO4, 0.2 g of MgSO4·7H2O, 5.0 g of NaCl, 1 mL of trace elements, pH = 7.0. When used for enriching degrading bacteria, a certain concentration of antibiotics is added to the medium, and when used for antibiotic degradation experiments, the corresponding volume of antibiotic stock solution is added.
[0044] LB medium: It is used for the purification and isolation of degrading bacteria. The main components (per liter) are: 10 g of tryptone, 5 g of yeast extract, 10 g of NaCl, 1 mL of trace element solution, pH = 7.0. For solid medium, 20 g of agar is added. For the LB medium containing antibiotics, the corresponding volume of antibiotic stock solution should be added when it is cooled to about 60 °C.
[0045] Trace element solution: It is used to provide trace elements for the culture medium. The main components (per liter) are: 50 g of EDTA-2Na, 22 g of ZnSO4·7H2O, 11.4 g of H3BO3, 5.06 g of MnCl2·4H2O, 1.61 g of CoCl2·6H2O, (NH4)6Mo7O 24 ·4H2O 1.1 g, 5.0 g of FeSO4·7H2O, 0.50 g of CaCl2, pH = 7.0.
[0046] Example 1 - Enrichment, isolation, purification and re-screening of fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacteria
[0047] Place 1 g of soil sample in 100 mL of basal medium containing 0.5 mg / L of ENR, and culture it in a shaker at 30 °C and 150 rpm in the dark with oscillation. Every 2 days, suck 5 mL of the pre-acclimated culture into 100 mL of fresh basal medium containing ENR, and gradually increase the ENR concentration in the medium. Repeat the above steps until the ENR concentration reaches 5 mg / L. Use a pipette to suck 5 mL of the supernatant into a 50 mL test tube, add physiological saline to 50 mL, and repeat this step after shaking evenly until it is diluted 10 -8 times. From 10 -4 、10 -6 、10 -8100 μL was taken from the dilution solution of [multiple] times and spread on the LB solid medium with an ENR concentration of 1 mg / L. Three parallel samples were made for each dilution multiple, and they were cultured in the dark at 30 °C for 48 h. Single colonies with different shapes, sizes and colors were selected from the medium, and streaking was repeated on the fresh LB solid medium. After purification culture, the strains with regular colony morphology and faster growth were subcultured by streaking until the colony morphology on the medium was completely consistent, and pure strains were obtained.
[0048] Although many bacteria are resistant to specific antibiotics, they cannot effectively degrade antibiotics. The ENR degradation performance of the screened resistant bacteria was detected to re-screen the strains that can effectively degrade ENR. The pure strain was inoculated into 100 mL of LB medium containing 1 mg / L ENR and cultured in the dark in a shaker at 30 °C and 150 rpm for 24 h. Then, it was inoculated into 100 mL of basic medium containing 1 mg / L ENR at an inoculation amount of 5% and cultured in the dark in a shaker at 30 °C and 150 rpm for 7 d. The residual amount of ENR was detected by HPLC, and the degradation rate was calculated. Each experiment was repeated 3 times, and the strain with the highest ENR degradation rate was obtained and named X03. It was stored in a -80 °C refrigerator by the glycerol method and the slant streaking method respectively. Before use, the freezing tube was taken out and quickly thawed in a 37 °C constant temperature water bath. 1 mL of the thawed cell suspension was taken out and inoculated into the basic medium, and it was activated and expanded under the conditions of 30 °C and 150 rpm.
[0049] Example 2 - Identification of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03
[0050] After the strain X03 was spread and cultured on the LB solid medium for 48 h, the colonies were regular round, yellow, smooth, sticky on the surface and easy to pick up ( Figure 1 ). Optical microscopy examination found that the size of a single colony was about 2 - 3 mm, the color of the center was slightly darker, and the color of the edge was lighter. Gram staining was positive. Molecular biological identification was carried out on the strain X03, and a DNA fragment about 1431 bp in length was amplified by PCR of 16S rRNA ( Figure 2 ). The gene sequence was aligned in Genbank, and the homology of the strain with Kocuria marina was as high as 99.44%, confirming that the degrading bacterium was Kocuria marina, and it was further named Kocuriasp. X03.
[0051] Example 3 - Growth curve and degradation effect of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03
[0052] The fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03 was inoculated into the basal medium containing 0.5 mg / L ENR at an inoculation amount of 5%, and cultured with shaking at 30 °C and 150 rpm. Samples were taken at 0, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 h respectively. The OD value of the bacterial solution was measured at a wavelength of 600 nm using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to determine the growth curve of the strain. At the same time, the residual concentration of ENR was measured, and the degradation rate was calculated. The growth and degradation curve of the strain Kocuria sp. X03 is as Figure 3 shown. The strain began to grow rapidly after 8 h of inoculation and entered the logarithmic growth phase. At this time, the ENR concentration also began to decrease rapidly. At 48 h, the strain entered the stationary phase, and the biomass reached the maximum value. Within 96 h, the degradation rate of ENR was 79.9%. After that, the ENR concentration decreased slowly, and the bacteria entered the decline phase, and the OD 600 value of the culture solution decreased slowly. This is mainly because after 96 h, the bacteria no longer grew or the reproduction rate was lower than the death rate of the bacteria, which further indicated that the degradation of ENR mainly occurred during the growth stage of the biomass of Kocuria sp. X03. After 168 h, the degradation rate of ENR reached 87.6%.
[0053] The fluoroquinolone antibiotic-degrading bacterium Kocuria sp. X03 of the present application was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (abbreviated as CCTCC, address: No. 299, Bayi Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, deposit number: CCTCC NO: M 2025522) on March 18, 2025, and it was isolated and screened from the soil.
