Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a bacillus tropicus Bacillus tropicus LHLJW.A06, and particularly relates to a bacillus tropicus producing chitosanase and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Chitosan is a natural cationic amino polysaccharide, which widely exists in fungi, crustaceans, insects and some algae. Due to its unique characteristics such as non-toxicity and wide biocompatibility, chitosan has been applied in many fields, such as food and cosmetic additives. However, the poor water solubility of chitosan limits its wider application. Chitooligosaccharide is water-soluble and has good anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, antibacterial and other functional properties. Chitosan can be degraded into chitooligosaccharide by chemical or enzymatic method. Chemical method is mainly through acid hydrolysis of chitosan at high temperature to become chitooligosaccharide, and enzymatic method is through various enzymes to make chitosan become chitooligosaccharide, these enzymes mainly include specific enzyme chitosanase and non-specific enzymes such as carbohydrate enzymes, proteases, lipases, etc. Chitosanase can catalyze the hydrolysis of β-1, 4 glycosidic bond to make chitosan crack into chitooligosaccharide. The advantage of enzymatic method over chemical method is that the conditions are relatively mild, specific chitooligosaccharide with different degrees of polymerization can be generated, and no harmful waste liquid is produced.
[0003] Chitosanase is an enzyme that specifically hydrolyzes chitosan, mainly exists in bacterial and fungal cells, and various strains have been found to produce chitosanase. Some researchers have also genetically recombined different strains to increase the yield of chitosanase. The fermentation production of chitosanase can adopt liquid fermentation and solid fermentation. Wang Gang et al. used Bacillus subtilis (preserved number: CGMCC No: 14841) to ferment and produce chitosanase, and the chitosanase produced by the Bacillus subtilis had high yield, strong enzyme activity, different protein structure from ordinary chitosanase, and good activity in weak alkaline, neutral, weak acidic and relatively strong acidic conditions, and the reaction end product was dimeric glucosamine and trimeric glucosamine (patent application number: CN201810030676.3). Yu Feng used a strain of fungus Paecilomyces sp.JW1727 produces chitosanase in the liquid medium of chitosan-added potato, the culture method is simple, the enzyme production time is short, the enzyme production activity is high, and it is beneficial to the development and utilization of chitosanase (Patent Application No: CN201010250754.4). Wang Zhongyong et al. constructed a recombinant plasmid encoding the chitosanase gene sequence of Bacillus subtilis, and the recombinant plasmid was transformed into the Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain by contact transformation of Escherichia coli. The Rhodopseudomonas palustris recombinant strain was obtained, and the chitosanase was obtained by fermentation culture of the Rhodopseudomonas palustris recombinant strain. The Rhodopseudomonas palustris recombinant strain of the invention does not need chitosan induction and does not affect the growth of the recombinant strain. The expressed extracellular chitosanase can continuously hydrolyze chitosan to form chitooligosaccharide, improve the solubility of chitosan, and the fermentation agent containing chitooligosaccharide can be directly used (Patent Application No: CN202111268892.X).
