Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a method and application for preparing ultraviolet absorbers using *Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis*. Background Technology
[0002] Coral reefs are widely distributed in shallow waters between 30 degrees north and south latitude. Exposed to high levels of ultraviolet radiation, coral mucus is rich in UV-resistant substances, thus protecting the coral host from UV damage. A diverse range of microorganisms exist in coral mucus, utilizing the organic nutrients to produce UV-resistant compounds, further protecting the coral host from UV damage.
[0003] Traditional sunscreens use UV absorbers such as benzophenone and cinnamate, which pose risks of skin allergies or cancer. Furthermore, their large-scale use can lead to contamination of rivers, lakes, and oceans, causing adverse effects on the environment and wildlife. In addition, over 98% of sunlight's UVA rays, with wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, can penetrate the ozone layer and clouds to reach the Earth's surface, reaching the dermis and damaging elastic and collagen fibers, causing sunburn. Less than 2% of UVB rays, with wavelengths between 280 and 320 nm, can also penetrate the ozone layer and reach the Earth's surface, penetrating the stratum corneum and causing skin damage, including erythema, posing a significant health risk. However, currently used traditional UV absorbers have insufficient absorption capacity in the UVA band. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention isolates and screens a naturally occurring microorganism with UV-resistant capabilities from coral mucus in the South China Sea: *Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis* Z-5, an actinomycete, currently deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) with accession number CCTCC M 20252318. Six UV absorbers isolated and prepared from this *Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis* are: 3-hydroxylacetyl-indole, 1-H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde, perlolyrine, (E)-3-(methylthio)acrylic acid, 1-acetyl-β-carboline, and 7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine. Compared to benzophenone, a commonly used UV absorber in traditional sunscreens, these products exhibit stronger UV absorption capabilities. In particular, ligustrazine, 1-acetyl-β-carboline, and dimethylisopyrrolizidine demonstrate very strong UV absorption in the UVA band (320-400nm), where benzophenone absorption is weak. Furthermore, these UV absorbers are derived from coral slime microorganisms, making them more environmentally friendly and biocompatible than traditionally used chemically synthesized UV absorbers, thus ensuring safer use.

[0085] Example 2: Screening of *Staphylococcus niger* strains with UV resistance
[0086] Colonies were picked from the agar plate and inoculated into 50 mL centrifuge tubes, each containing 20 mL of sterile culture medium with the following formula: peptone 5.0 g / L, yeast extract 1.0 g / L, ferric citrate 0.1 g / L, sodium chloride 19.45 g / L, magnesium chloride 5.98 g / L, sodium sulfate 3.24 g / L, calcium chloride 1.8 g / L, potassium chloride 0.55 g / L, sodium carbonate 0.16 g / L, potassium bromide 0.08 g / L, strontium chloride 0.034 g / L, boric acid 0.022 g / L, sodium silicate 0.004 g / L, sodium fluoride 0.0024 g / L, sodium nitrate 0.0016 g / L, disodium hydrogen phosphate 0.008 g / L, pH 7.4–7.8. The centrifuge tubes were incubated in a constant temperature shaker at 28°C and 220 rpm for 48 h to obtain the seed culture.
[0087] The seed culture was inoculated into 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks at a 1% (v / v) inoculation rate. Each flask contained 200 mL of YPD medium, formulated with 20 g yeast extract, 20 g glucose, and 10 g peptone per liter of purified water, at pH 6.4-6.6. The culture was incubated for 7 days in a constant-temperature shaker at 30°C and 220 rpm.
[0088] After fermentation, the fermentation broth was obtained by vacuum filtration and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was then subjected to rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to remove the solvent ethyl acetate, yielding a crude extract. Methanol was added to the crude extract in small, repeated additions of 4 mL to dissolve the extract. The mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min to remove solid impurities. 50 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a LC-MS vial with an inner tube for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Agilent). UV absorption: HPLC: 1260 Infinity II; Column: Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18, 4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm particle size. Detector: Diode array detector (DAD), detection wavelengths 254 nm (UVC), 290 nm (UVB), and 340 nm (UVA). Injection volume: 10 μL; Column temperature: 28℃. Mobile phase consisted of an aqueous solution containing 0.1% formic acid (phase A) and acetonitrile (phase B), with a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min. Injection volume: 10 μL. Mobile phase gradient: 5% A phase (v / v), 0 min; 5% A phase (v / v), 2 min; 0% A phase (v / v), 22 min; 0% A phase (v / v), 27 min; 5% A phase (v / v), 28 min; 5% A phase (v / v), 30 min; Column temperature: 30℃; Detection wavelength: 254 nm (UVC), 290 nm (UVB), and 340 nm (UVA). Strains with UV-absorbing metabolites were screened based on the number of UV absorption peaks and the total UV absorption peak area. The metabolites of the isolated coral slime actinomycete *Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis* fermented in YPD medium showed strong UV absorption at 254 nm (UVC), 290 nm (UVB), and 340 nm (UVA). Figure 1-3 (As shown), this strain was therefore prepared as a UV absorber. The strain was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection on October 29, 2025, at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

The ESI ion source parameters were set as follows: capillary temperature 320 °C, nozzle voltage 3.2 kV, lens RF voltage 50 V, positive ion mode. Mass spectrometric data of the compounds were acquired using a Thermo Fisher Xcalibur 3.0 spectrometer to obtain the molecular weights of the compounds. After acquiring the mass spectrometry data, the raw data was converted to .mzXML format using MSConvertGUI 3.0 software, connected to the GNPs molecular network (https: / / gnps.ucsd.edu / ), and the MS / MS results were compared with the molecular network database to observe whether there were any compounds with high matching degree.
[0117] The structure was then further identified using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (NMR). Deuterated methanol was used as the solvent for the more polar compounds, while deuterated chloroform was used for the less polar compounds. Small, repeated applications of 500 μL of deuterated solvent were added to the sample vial, and the dissolved sample was transferred to the NMR tube until the liquid level reached 3-4 cm. The compounds were then analyzed using a Bruker Avance 600 MHz III NMR spectrometer. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR analysis (results are as follows) Figure 10-21 (As shown), the spectra were analyzed using MestReNova software. Finally, dimethylisopyrrolizidine was isolated from fraction Fr 2, 3-hydroxyacetylindole and 1-H-indole-3-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde were isolated from fraction Fr 3, and ligustrol, (E)-3-methylthioacrylic acid, and 1-acetyl-β-carboline were isolated from fraction Fr 4. The structural formulas of the compounds are shown below. Figure 22 As shown.
[0118] Example 5: Evaluation of the UV absorption capacity of the compound
[0119] The compound was completely dissolved in methanol to achieve a concentration of 1 mM. 0.364 g of benzophenone was weighed and added to 2 ml of methanol to prepare a 1 mM solution as a positive control, while a pure methanol solution was used as a negative control.
[0120] Absorb 500 Each compound was placed in a methanol solution in a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 min to remove solid impurities. 50 μL of the solution was then collected. The supernatant was transferred to a LC-MS vial with an inner tube and diluted with 10 mL of water. The UV absorption of the compounds was analyzed by HPLC across the entire wavelength range (230-400 nm) using the same conditions as described above. The maximum absorption wavelength of each compound was determined by analyzing its UV absorption spectrum. The absorbance of each compound and benzophenone in the UVA and UVB bands was then compared using a microplate reader. 280 μL of sample was injected. Add 1 mM of the test solution to each well of a 96-well plate, select a wavelength of 280-400 nm and a bandwidth of 2 nm, and read the values three times for each well.
[0121] The UV absorption spectra of the six compounds prepared by isolation are as follows: Figure 24-29 As shown (where Figure 24-27 29. The vertical axis, mAU, represents milliampere, and the horizontal axis represents wavelength. Figure 28 The vertical axis represents AU (Absorbance unit), and the horizontal axis represents wavelength, indicating strong ultraviolet absorption. Compared with the traditional ultraviolet absorber benzophenone, all of them have stronger ultraviolet absorption capabilities, especially perlolyrine, 1-acetyl-β-carbazoline, and dimethylisocoroxazine, which have very strong ultraviolet absorption in the UVA band (320-400 nm) where benzophenone absorption is weak (Table 3).
