[0040] Example 1 Achnatherum inebrians Isolation method of endophytic fungi
[0041] 1. Preparation of culture medium
[0042] Culture medium 1: The culture medium is a potato dextrose agar medium (PDA) containing antibiotics, yeast extract, and the water extract of Achnatherum inebrians leaves. Specifically: Weigh about 200 g of potatoes, wash, peel and cut them into pieces, add 1000 mL of water and boil for 15 min, filter through gauze and then add water to make up to 1000 mL, add 20 g of glucose and 18 g of agar powder, boil until the agar powder completely melts and then dispense. The dispensed culture medium is sterilized by high-pressure steam moist heat. At a steam pressure of 0.1 MPa, the temperature reaches 121°C and is maintained for 20 min.

The rest is the same as the preparation of Medium 1.
[0046] 2. Achnatherum inebrians Isolation of endophytic fungi
[0047] (1) Treatment of Achnatherum inebrians seeds: After collecting Achnatherum inebrians seeds, they are promptly air-dried to remove surface moisture, and then stored in a paper bag or envelope, avoiding the use of plastic bags. The Achnatherum inebrians seeds should be subjected to the isolation of endophytic fungi within 48 h after collection. If isolation cannot be carried out in a timely manner, they are refrigerated in a 4°C refrigerator.
[0048] (2) Seed disinfection: First, soak fresh Achnatherum inebrians seeds in 50% sulfuric acid for 30 min and then wash them 5 times with sterile water. Subsequently, disinfection treatment is carried out in a laminar flow hood. First, disinfect with 75% ethanol for 3 min, then disinfect with 10% sodium hypochlorite for 3 min, and then rinse with sterile water 5 times. Subsequently, use sterile and dry filter paper to completely absorb the moisture on the seed surface. In addition, the seeds can be allowed to air-dry naturally in a sterile workbench to ensure that the seeds are completely dry.
[0049] (3) Seed culture: Use forceps to pick up the seeds of Achnatherum inebrians sterilized in step (2) and place them separately into the culture medium prepared in (1) above. When adding the seeds, gently press the seeds with forceps so that the seeds are embedded in the culture medium by 1-2 mm. Add 5 seeds to each petri dish, and make them evenly spaced and distributed in an X shape. After the petri dish is sealed with a breathable sealing film, culture it in the dark at 22°C. When contaminated seeds are found during the culture process, remove them in time and gently wipe the edges with 1% sodium hypochlorite to prevent the contamination from spreading to other areas. If the contamination has spread, transfer the uncontaminated seeds to a new culture medium in time. The seed culture of Achnatherum inebrians is as Figure 1 shown.
[0050] (4) Subculture: After culturing for 10 days, use a sterilized inoculation needle to pick up the vigorously growing and uncontaminated mycelia at the edge of the colony and transfer them to a fresh potato dextrose agar medium without antibiotics. Wait until its growth diameter is about 2 cm;
[0051] (5) Repeat step (4) until a single and uniform colony is formed.
[0052] 3. Identification of endophytic fungi
[0053] After the mycelia have grown on the new culture medium for one week, extract the DNA of the strain for sequencing. Through the combined identification of morphology and molecules, confirm that the strain is genus endophytic fungi.
[0054] 4. Determination of isolation rate
[0055] (1) Determination method
[0056] After the colonies grown on the seeds are purified and their growth diameter is about 2 cm, conduct molecular identification on them. After determining that they are endophytic fungi of Achnatherum inebrians, count them. The isolation rate refers to the proportion of successfully isolating the target endophytic fungi from a certain number of seeds.
[0057] Among them, the isolation rate (%) = (the number of seeds with growing colonies / the total number of inoculated seeds) × 100%.
[0058] (2) Results
[0059] When using culture medium 3 to isolate endophytic fungi of Achnatherum inebrians, the isolation rate of genus endophytic fungi is 5%; when using culture medium 4 to isolate endophytic fungi of Achnatherum inebrians, the isolation rate of genus endophytic fungi is 6%; when using culture medium 2 to isolate endophytic fungi of Achnatherum inebrians, the isolation rate of genus endophytic fungi is 16%; when using culture medium 1 to isolate endophytic fungi of Achnatherum inebrians, The isolation rate of the genus endophyte is 18%. Compared with culture media 3 and 4, the culture media described in the present application significantly increase the isolation rate of the endophyte in Achnatherum inebrians.
[0060] 5. Determination of contamination rate
[0061] (1) Determination method
[0062] During the cultivation of seeds, when contamination of the seeds in the culture medium is detected, the contaminated samples are observed and counted. Subsequently, the contaminants are removed and the edges are gently wiped with 1% sodium hypochlorite to prevent the spread of contamination to other areas.
[0063] Among them, the contamination rate (%) = (number of contaminated seeds counted / total number of inoculated seeds) × 100%.
[0064] (2) Results
[0065] When isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 3, the contamination rate of the genus endophyte is 17%; when isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 4, the contamination rate of the genus endophyte is 13%; when isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 2, the contamination rate of the genus endophyte is 6%; when isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 1, the contamination rate of the genus endophyte is 6%. Compared with culture media 3 and 4, using the culture media described in the present application significantly reduces the contamination rate of the endophyte in Achnatherum inebrians.
[0066] 6. Determination of the growth rate of endophytes
[0067] (1) Determination method
[0068] The cross method is used to measure the colony diameter: draw two perpendicular lines on the back of the petri dish to form a cross as the measurement reference line. During measurement, pass through the center of the colony in two directions and record the distance between the colony edges. Repeat 2 times, and take the arithmetic mean of the finally measured diameters as the final diameter of the colony. Among them, the growth rate = colony diameter / number of culture days.
[0069] (2) Results
[0070] When isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 3, the growth rate of the genus endophyte is 2.6 mm / day; when isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 4, the growth rate of the genus endophyte is 3.1 mm / day; when isolating the endophyte of Achnatherum inebrians using culture medium 2, The growth rate of the endophytic fungus belonging to the endophytic fungus is 2.7 mm / day; when isolating the endophytic fungus of Achnatherum inebrians using Medium 1, The growth rate of the endophytic fungus belonging to the endophytic fungus is 3.1 mm / day. Compared with Medium 3, the medium described in this application significantly promotes the growth rate of the endophytic fungus of Achnatherum inebrians.
[0071] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
