Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microbiology, and particularly relates to a pit mud culture strengthening bacterium agent, a preparation method, a usage method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The strong-flavor Baijiu is one of the products with the highest annual sales and the widest popularity in the traditional brewing beverages in China. The flavor of the strong-flavor Baijiu is closely related to the brewing mud pit. During the long-term continuous batch fermentation process of the mud pit, the quality of the produced Baijiu improves as the pit mud gradually matures. Therefore, there is a saying in the industry that "good wine depends entirely on the old pit". However, the process of pit mud maturation usually takes 10 years, 20 years or even longer, and it is also easily disturbed during the maturation process, resulting in the destruction of the stability of the pit mud microbial community and the degradation of the pit mud quality. All kinds of difficulties and problems in the process of Baijiu maturation restrict the improvement of the production capacity of high-quality Baijiu. How to accelerate the process of pit mud maturation and stabilize the pit mud quality has become the focus of attention in the industry.

[0003] In the traditional strong-flavor Baijiu brewing system, the pit mud in the pit is rich in microorganisms, which plays a key role in the enrichment of short-chain fatty acids and volatile flavor substances in the pit. These microorganisms do not exist independently. They will interact with each other and form a complex interaction network, gradually forming a stable dynamic equilibrium community structure during the long-term brewing process, and the pit mud is gradually domesticated and matured. Existing research has shown that the relative abundance of microorganisms belonging to the genus Clostridium in the pit mud is very significant, and they have important functions in the community. Microorganisms of this genus can produce a variety of flavor substance precursors that are important for the flavor of Baijiu, such as acetic acid, butyric acid and caproic acid. By the interaction between microorganisms, improving the metabolism of key microorganisms in the community to make them produce more target metabolites is also one of the methods to increase the content of fatty acid esters in Baijiu and improve the quality of Baijiu. Therefore, studying the interaction of microorganisms is of great significance for clarifying the microecology of pit mud.

[0004] The role of syntrophic microorganisms in the community cannot be ignored. For example, syntrophy can broaden the ecological niche of other microorganisms and affect the metabolic profile of microorganisms. At present, the research on the interaction of the microbial community in the strong-flavor Baijiu pit mud has not yet formed a complete system. Among them, the impact of the presence of syntrophic microorganisms in the pit mud on other microorganisms in the brewing system is not fully understood. Therefore, using their syntrophic characteristics to prepare a bacterium agent for co-culturing syntrophic microorganisms and other acid-producing target microorganisms, and increasing the accumulation of target microorganism products, is helpful to realize the regulation of pit mud quality and improve the output of high-quality Baijiu.

[0028] In the examples, the formula of the enriched liquid medium used is as follows: 0.05 g of CaCl₂·2H₂O, 0.40 g of NH₄Cl, 0.40 g of MgSO₄·7H₂O, 0.50 g of K₂HPO₄·3H₂O, 0.40 g of NaCl, 0.002 g of FeSO₄·7H₂O, 1.00 g of tryptone, 15 mL of yellow water, 1 mL of trace element mother liquor, 20.0 g of sodium acetate, 20.0 g of glucose, and the balance is water; among them, the formula of the trace element mother liquor (1 L) is 1.0 g of MnSO₄·H₂O, 0.2 g of CoCl₂·6H₂O, 0.2 mg of ZnSO₄·7H₂O, 20 mg of CuCl₂·2H₂O, 20 mg of NiCl₂·6H₂O, 20 mg of Na₂MoO₄·2H₂O, 20 mg of Na₂SeO₄, 20 mg of Na₂WO₄, and the balance is water.

[0029] In the examples, Novisyntrophococcus fermenticellae, with the preservation number of CICC No. 24502; Clostridium fermenticellae, with the preservation number of CGMCC No. 17037; Terrisporobacter petrolearius, with the preservation number of JCM No. 19845; Clostridium scatologenes, with the preservation number of DSM No. 757; Clostridium sporogenes, with the preservation number of DSM No. 795.

[0030] Example 1: Exploration of the microbial species in the pit mud culture enrichment bacterium agent

[0031] 1.1. Mix Novisyntrophococcus fermenticellae with four Clostridiales bacteria, namely Clostridium fermenticellae, Terrisporobacter petrolearius, Clostridium scatologenes, and Clostridium sporogenes, at a ratio of 1:1, and inoculate them into the enriched liquid medium at a ratio of 1:10 (V / V) for co-culture in pairs. The culture conditions are anaerobic culture at 37°C, and the volume ratio of the mixed gas is H₂:CO₂:N₂ = 1:1:8. After 96 h, measure the content of short-chain fatty acids in the bacterial liquid.

[0032] The results showed that co-culturing N.fermenticellae with C.fermenticellae, C.sporogenes increased the caproic acid production of C.fermenticellae (from 4.56 g / L to 6.21 g / L) and C.sporogenes (from 6.64 g / L to 7.96 g / L); co-culturing N.fermenticellae with T.petrolearius, C.scatologenes increased the butyric acid production of T.petrolearius (from 1.33 g / L to 2.56 g / L) and C.scatologenes (from 1.47 g / L to 2.65 g / L).

[0033] 1.2 Based on the characteristic that butyric acid can be used as a substrate for caproic acid synthesis in the fatty acid metabolic pathway, the above five bacteria were mixed in the ratio of 50% N.fermenticellae and 12.5% for each of the remaining four Clostridiales bacteria, and inoculated into an enhanced liquid medium at a ratio of 1:10 (V / V) for co-culture. The culture conditions were anaerobic culture at 37°C, and the volume ratio of the mixed gas was H2:CO2:N2 = 1:1:8. After 96 h, the butyric acid and caproic acid contents in the bacterial liquid were measured.

[0034] 1.3 Comparing the short-chain fatty acid results of the five-bacteria co-culture with the acid production amounts of the two-bacteria co-culture and single-bacteria culture, the results are shown in Table 1. The caproic acid content produced by the five-bacteria co-culture system was significantly higher than that of the two-bacteria co-culture and single-bacteria culture. It was proved that in the case of N.fermenticellae providing acetic acid and T.petrolearius and C.scatologenes providing butyric acid, the caproic acid-producing bacteria C.fermenticellae and C.sporogenes in the system could significantly increase the caproic acid production, which was beneficial to the subsequent biological maintenance of pit mud after the inoculant was put into use.
