Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microorganisms, and particularly to Gordonia fibrolytica and its applications. Background Art

[0002] The genus Gordonia belongs to the domain Bacteria - phylum Actinobacteria - class Actinomycetia - order Corynebacteriales - family Gordoniaceae. The genus Gordonia was initially proposed by Tsukamura in 1971 and named Gordon (Tsukamura M. Proposal of a new genus, Gordona, for slightly acid-fast organisms occurring in sputa of patients with pulmonary disease and in soil. J Gen Microbiol. 1971 Sep;68(1):15 - 26. doi:10.1099 / 00221287 - 68 - 1 - 15. PMID:4109926.), and was renamed Gordonia in 1997 (Stackebrandt E, Rainey F A, Ward - Rainey N L. Proposal for a New Hierarchic Classification System, Actinobacteria classis nov[J]. International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1997, 47(2):479 - 491.). Strains of the genus Gordonia have a wide range of sources. The initial reports were isolates from clinical samples. Subsequently, there have been studies on isolates from environments such as soil, ocean, biofiltration devices, industrial wastewater, sewage treatment reactors, rocks, mangrove ecosystems, soil, deserts, rhizosphere of plants, fresh water, and human body fluids. Currently, there are 47 validly described species in this genus, and the type strain is Gordonia amicalis HS - 11 T .

[0003] Previous studies have shown that multiple members of the genus Gordonia have the ability to produce secondary metabolites, enzymes, surfactants, etc., and play important roles in the discovery of bioactive secondary metabolites, plant growth promotion, and ecological environment protection. The strain Gordonia sp. 647W.R.1a.05 isolated from trypanosomes can secrete various substances with neuroactive or antibacterial activities, such as cyclomycin A, dimycin, 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-butanediol, etc., which have similar effects to the trypanotoxin secreted by its host (Lin Z, et al. Neuroactive diol and acyloin metabolites from cone snail-associated bacteria. Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Sep 1; 23(17): 4867-9. doi: 10.1016 / j.bmcl.2013.06.088. Epub 2013 Jul 8. PMID: 23880542.). The strain Gordonia sp. S2RP-17 isolated from the rhizosphere of the plant Equisetum arvense planted in petroleum-contaminated soil can produce siderophores and deaminated-1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate. Siderophores can convert the extremely insoluble iron element in the soil into a soluble state, promote the absorption of iron by plants, and play a role in promoting plant growth (Hong SH, et al. Rhizoremediation of diesel-contaminated soil using the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Gordonia sp. S2RP-17. Biodegradation. 2011 Jun; 22(3): 593-601. doi: 10.1007 / s10532-010-9432-2. Epub 2010 Nov 17. PMID: 21082332.). Moreover, some Gordonia can directly synthesize auxin to promote plant growth.Gordonia sp. JPA2, isolated from the rhizosphere of Chenopodium murale growing in salt pans in Haryana, India, can not only tolerate up to 6% NaCl but also produce PGP (plant growth-promoting) substances such as indole-3-acetic acid, ammonia, and siderophores. Therefore, this strain is also considered a potential candidate for developing bioinoculants suitable for saline-alkali soils (Hong SH, et al. Rhizoremediation of diesel-contaminated soil using the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Gordonia sp. S2RP-17. Biodegradation. 2011 Jun;22(3):593-601. doi:10.1007 / s10532-010-9432-2. Epub 2010 Nov 17. PMID:21082332.). A strain of Gordonia isolated from a forest has the potential to degrade lignin and alkanes and exhibits high phenol oxidase and peroxidase activities (Woo HL, et al. Enzyme activities of aerobic lignocellulolytic bacteria isolated from wet tropical forest soils. Syst Appl Microbiol. 2014 Feb;37(1):60-7. doi:10.1016 / j.syapm.2013.10.001. Epub 2013 Nov 14. PMID:24238986.). A new strain of Gordonia, G. namibiensis NAM-BN063A, was isolated from a sandy soil sample in the Waterberg Kalahari Desert in central Namibia and can degrade a variety of nitrile compounds. In recent years, microbial oil recovery and microbial remediation technologies for pollutants, which have the significant advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection, and economy with microbial degradation as the core, have received extensive attention from scholars. Therefore, Gordonia strains have potential application value in the field of microbial remediation. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The present invention will be further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation manners. The examples given are only for clarifying the present invention, rather than limiting the scope of the present invention. The following examples can be used as a guide for those of ordinary skill in the art to make further improvements, and do not limit the present invention in any way.

[0053] The experimental methods in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified, and are carried out according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product instructions. The materials, reagents, etc. used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise specified.

[0054] Example 1 Isolation and identification of Gordonia cellulolyticum G22706 I. Isolation of strain G22706

[0055] The strain G22706 of the present invention was isolated from the soil of Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The specific isolation operation is as follows:

[0056] 1. Preparation of soil suspension

[0057] Take a small amount of soil sample and air-dry it for 1 week. Then, heat-treat it in an oven at 80 °C for 15 min. After that, add 2 g of the soil sample to 18 mL of a sterile mixed solution containing 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate and 0.85% sodium chloride. Place it in a shaker at 28 °C and shake at 180 rpm for 40 min to fully suspend the soil sample. Gradient-dilute the formed soil suspension with a mixed solution containing 0.1% sodium pyrophosphate and 0.85% sodium chloride to 10 -4 for subsequent sub-culturing of bacteria.

[0058] 2. Strain isolation medium

[0059] Use M2 isolation medium, and the nutrient components are as follows: sodium propionate 2 g / L, NH4NO3 0.1 g / L, KCl 0.1 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 0.05 g / L, FeSO4·7H2O 0.05 g / L, marine trace salts 0.38 g / L, agar 15 g / L, and make up to 1 L with deionized water; pH 7 - 8.

[0060] 3. Isolation method

[0061] Spread the above-diluted soil suspension on the M2 isolation medium plate and culture it at 28 °C for 3 weeks. Pick out single colonies with good growth, complete bacterial lawns, and different morphological characteristics, and culture them on the PYG slant medium (formula: peptone 3 g·L -1 , yeast extract 5 g·L -1 , glycerol 10 g·L -1 , betaine 1.25 g·L -1 , sodium pyruvate 1.25 g·L -1 , agar 15 g·L -1 ; pH 7) to obtain pure cultures of different strains for subsequent research. At the same time, the obtained pure strains are preserved in liquid nitrogen at ultra-low temperature and frozen at -80 °C with 20% (v / v) glycerol as a cryoprotectant. After amplifying and sequencing the 16S rRNA gene of the pure cultures after morphological duplicate elimination, use EZBioCloud (https: / / www.ezbiocloud.net / ) for comparison to obtain a strain with a similarity of 98.4% to the closest reference strain Gordonia bronchialis DSM 43247 T . The strain number is G22706, and it is preliminarily determined to be a potential new species.

[0062] II. Identification of strain G22706

[0063] The strain G22706 was grown on PYG medium at 28 °C, and morphological, physiological and biochemical, cytochemical, and genetic level studies were carried out. Other special circumstances will be described.

[0064] 1. Detection of morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of strain G22706

[0065] After the strain G22706 was cultured on PYG solid medium at 28 °C for 5 days, the colony morphology was observed using an automatic colony counter (Xunshu) and a stereomicroscope (OLYMPUS SZX7). The growth temperature detection range was 4, 10, 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 37, 42, and 45 °C; the growth salt concentration (NaCl) detection range was 12 concentration gradients of 0-10% and 15% (0-10 g / 100 mL and 15 g / 100 mL) (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 15); the growth pH detection range was 7 gradients (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) between 4 and 10 (Xu P, Li WJ, Tang SK, Zhang YQ, Chen GZ, et al. Naxibacter alkalitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Oxalobacteraceae isolated from China. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55: 1149-1153). The physiological and biochemical functions of the strain were completed using the detection kits API 50CH and API ZYM produced by bioMérieux France, and the detection system GEN III produced by BiOLOG USA. Other physiological characteristics of the strain, including Gram staining property, motility, oxygen requirement, catalase activity, gelatin liquefaction, indole production, H2S production, etc., were mainly referred to "Actinomycete System Identification Manual" (Xu LH. Actinomycete systematics: principles, methods and practices [M]. Beijing: Science Press, 2007, 93-108.).

[0066] The identification results showed that the strain G22706 was a Gram-positive aerobic heterotrophic bacterium. The cells were short rod-shaped with a size of (0.2-0.3) × (0.5-1) μm, without spore formation and non-motile. After the strain G22706 was cultured on PYG medium at 28 °C for 5 days, circular, convex, and light orange colonies with a diameter of about (1.5-3) mm were formed, and no soluble pigment was produced. See Figure 1。The growth tolerance range of the strain is 15 - 37 °C, 0 - 10% NaCl, pH 4.0 - 10.0, and the optimal growth conditions are 28 - 37 °C, 0% NaCl, pH 7.0 - 8.0. It is catalase - positive, gelatin - liquefaction - negative, and does not produce indole and H2S. The production of alkaline phosphatase, esterase C4, lipase C14, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, α - galactosidase, β - galactosidase, β - glucuronidase, α - glucosidase and β - glucosidase is positive. The strain G22706 and its closest relative strain Gordonia bronchialis DSM 43247 T have the differences in physiological and biochemical characteristics shown in Table 1.

[0069]

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] Note: +, positive / growth; -, negative / non - growth; W, weakly positive.

[0073] As can be seen from the results shown in Table 1, the strain G22706 of the present invention has differences in physiological and biochemical characteristics from the reported relative strains.

[0074] 2. Detection of cytochemical characteristics of strain G22706

[0075] The respiratory quinone types, polar lipids, fatty acids and other cytochemical components of strain G22706 were detected by HPLC liquid chromatography, TLC thin layer chromatography and GC gas chromatography techniques (Minnikin DE, O’Donnell AG, Goodfellow M, Alderson G, Athalye M et al. An integrated procedure for the extraction of bacterial isoprenoid quinones and polar lipids. J Microbiol Methods 1984;2:233-241. Sasser M. Identification of bacteria by gas ghromatography of cellular fatty acids, MIDI Technical Note 101. Newark, DE: MIDI inc; 1990.).

[0076] The results showed that in the strain G22706 of the present invention, MK-9(H2) was the main respiratory quinone type in the respiratory chain; diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol were the main polar lipid components. Comparing the fatty acid components of the strain G22706 of the present invention with those of the related strain Gordonia bronchialis DSM 43247 T is shown in Table 2. It can be seen that the main fatty acid of the strain G22706 of the present invention is Summed Feature 4 (C 15:0 iso 2-OH / trans-C 16:1 ω9c), accounting for 33.3% of the total content, and the main fatty acid component of the closest related strain Gordonia bronchialis DSM43247 T is C 16:0 , accounting for 20.6% of the total content. At the same time, as shown in Table 2, the contents of many other fatty acid components in the strain G22706 are also different from those of its related strains. Therefore, the strain G22706 of the present invention is a new species of the genus Gordonia.

[0080] Note: Summed Feature 4,C 15:0 iso 2-OH / trans-C 16:1 ω9c; Summed Feature 8,cis-C 19:1 ω10c; -, not detected.

[0081] 3. Detection of cellulase activity of strain G22706

[0082] Using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) as the sole C source in the plate for plate screening to detect the cellulase activity of strain G22706 (Reinhold-Hurek, B., Hurek. T., Claeyssens, M., van Montagu, M. (1993). Cloning, expression in Escherichia coli, and characterization of cellulolytic enzymes of Azoarcus sp., a root-invading diazotroph. J Bacteriol 175, 7056 - 7065.). The specific steps are as follows: Prepare the CMC-Na screening medium (formula: (NH4)2SO4 4 g, NaCl 0.1 g, MgSO4·7H20 0.1 g, CaCl2 0.1 g, yeast extract 0.5 g, Fe(Ⅲ)EDTA 0.033 g, CMC-Na 2 g, agar 15 g, 1 L ddH2O, pH 7.0). Pick a single colony of strain G22706 in the logarithmic growth phase and inoculate it on the CMC-Na screening medium. After culturing for 3 days, use Congo red staining solution to detect the cellulose activity of the strain. The results are as Figure 2 shown. An obvious transparent circle was produced around strain G22706, indicating that strain G22706 has cellulolytic activity. The same experimental method was used for rescreening verification and the same experimental results as the primary screening were found (Teather, R.M., Wood, P.J. (1982). Use of Congo red-polysaccharide interactions in enumeration and characterization of cellulolytic bacteria from the bovine rumen. Appl Environ Microbiol 43, 777 - 780.).

[0083] 4. Determination of the phylogenetic position of strain G22706

[0084] The genomic DNA of the strain G22706 of the present invention was extracted for sequencing, and the 16S rRNA gene sequence (SEQ ID No.1) was aligned online in the internationally authoritative bacterial taxonomy analysis database (http: / / www.ezbiocloud.net / ) (Kim OS, Cho YJ, Lee K, et al. 2012, Introducing EzTaxon-e: a prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene sequence database with phylotypes that represent uncultured species. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol, 62:716-721). The results showed that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain G22706 of the present invention had the highest similarity with the species of the genus Gordonia, and the representative strain of the species with the highest pairwise sequence similarity was Gordonia bronchialis DSM 43247 T , with a similarity of 98.4%, which is lower than the defined threshold of 98.7% for different bacterial species. It was preliminarily inferred that this bacterium was a new species of the genus Gordonia. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the representative strains of the validly published species of the genus Gordonia were selected to construct a phylogenetic tree ( Figure 3 ).

[0085] To further clarify the phylogenetic status of the strain G22706, the average nucleotide identity (ANI value) of the whole genome sequence of the strain G22706 and the whole genome sequence of the closely related control bacterium was calculated and compared on EZbiocloud. The results showed that the ANI value of the strain G22706 and the closely related control bacterium Gordonia bronchialis DSM 43247 T was 76.9%, which was significantly lower than the ANI defined value (95%) for dividing two gene species (Yoon SH, Ha SM, Lim J, Kwon S, Chun J. A large-scale evaluation of algorithms to calculate average nucleotide identity. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 2017; 110:1281-1286.). Combining the physiological and biochemical as well as chemical characteristics, the strain G22706 of the present invention was determined to be a new species of the genus Gordonia.

[0086] In summary, there are many significant differences between the strain G22706 of the present invention and the existing Gordonia strains in terms of phenotypic, physiological and biochemical, and cytochemical characteristics. At the same time, the phylogenetic analysis at the gene level further illustrates the differences between this strain and the existing published Gordonia species, fully demonstrating that the strain G22706 of the present invention represents a new species of the genus Gordonia. Meanwhile, through the detection of cellulose degradation ability, it is also proved that the strain of the present invention has cellulose degradation activity and is a functional new species of Gordonia, named Gordonia cellulolyticum. This bacterium has broad application prospects in food processing, garbage treatment, soil remediation, soil improvement, etc.
