Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of microbial resource development and utilization, and particularly relates to a halophilic Fusarium odoratissimum and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Higher alcohols, also known as higher fatty alcohols, refer to a mixture of monohydric alcohols containing 3 or more carbon atoms, including isoamyl alcohol, n-propanol, isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, n-pentanol and n-hexanol, etc. Higher alcohols are widely used in food, medicine and manufacturing industries as biofuels, chemical raw materials and food additives. For example, a hair cosmetic composition added with higher alcohols (content 0.1%) such as cetyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol can effectively inhibit hair damage (CN114760979B). An aerosol composition added with higher alcohols such as lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol can effectively enhance the smooth use feeling and good manageability of hair (CN115666500B). A nine-grain fragrant liquor and its brewing formula and method are invented (CN107937212A), in which higher alcohols synthesized by microorganisms in the liquor starter can increase the flavor of the liquor. At present, the methods for preparing higher alcohols include methanol carbonylation, olefin hydration and synthesis gas catalysis, etc. For example, a method for continuously catalytically converting higher alcohols is invented (CN117645528B), in which ethanol is used as raw material, and aldehyde ester compounds are used as catalysts, which effectively reduces the complexity of subsequent separation of higher alcohols. A series catalytic method for improving the catalytic efficiency of CO2 hydrogenation for preparing higher alcohols is invented (CN119500145A), which can effectively reduce the selectivity of byproduct hydrocarbons and significantly increase the recovery rate of higher alcohols. A multi-stage programmed temperature method is used to couple C8-C16 higher alcohols in ethanol aqueous phase (CN116283492B), in which different intermediate products can continuously couple under the most suitable temperature conditions for their own continuous reaction. However, the chemical synthesis process has limitations such as high raw material cost, low repeatability and expensive catalyst price. Compared with the chemical synthesis process, the microbial fermentation synthesis process of higher alcohols has unique advantages.

[0003] Fusarium sp. belongs to Ascomycota, and has good environmental adaptability and stress resistance. At present, the researches on Fusarium sp. mainly focus on eliminating or alleviating the plant diseases caused by Fusarium, ignoring the potential application value of its metabolites. It is worth noting that the secondary metabolites of Fusarium sp. are rich in terpenes, polyketides, aromatic hydrocarbons and alkaloids and other compounds, which have a wide range of biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial and antitumor, and plant protection and growth promotion. For example, a Fusarium oxysporum strain SYfx123.3 can convert yellow ginger to yucca ketone under the culture condition containing yellow ginger, with the announcement number CN119753074A. A Fusarium oxysporum strain FOZJ2024 has excellent killing effect on Melaleuca longipennis, mealybug, Spodoptera exigua and Solenopsis invicta, with the announcement number CN119842502A. A Fusarium sp. NX1 can promote the growth of blueberry seedlings in cooperation with Alternaria sp. CS9, with the announcement number CN119490914A. In addition, it has been reported that Fusarium sp. can effectively synthesize higher alcohols. For example, a Fusarium solani HCO1 can quickly induce linaloe tree to synthesize chromone and linaloe tetrol, with the announcement number CN117801960B. However, the strains of Fusarium sp. that can directly utilize sugar compounds to ferment and synthesize higher alcohols are relatively scarce. Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to find wild type fungi that can be practically applied to ferment and synthesize higher alcohols and have good stress resistance, and to provide new strains for high-efficiency fermentation production of higher alcohols. SUMMARY

Excluding noise, chromatographic column outflow, halide-containing compounds and BSTFA compound peaks in the identification process, peaks of the same compound are combined. Each sample is repeated 3 times to evaluate the repeatability of the experiment.
