Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for preparing paraherquamide A through biological fermentation and cultivation. Background Art

[0002] It is a new type of oral short-acting insecticide for sheep developed by Zoetis, an animal health drug and vaccine company. The active ingredients of this drug are Derquantel (10 mg / mL) and Avermectin (1 mg / mL). It can kill worms that have developed resistance to insecticides such as levamisole, benzimidazole, macrolide and triclobendazole, such as Haemonchus contortus, Teledorsagia circumcincta, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, etc. The standard dosage is 1mL / 5kg (volume of drug solution / sheep weight). For an adult sheep weighing 50kg, 0.5g of Dequent is required for each sheep. According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the number of sheep in the world exceeds 1 billion. Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that the potential demand for Dequent is hundreds of tons or even higher, and the market demand is huge.

[0003]

[0004] Dequent is a chemical derivative of fungal metabolite paraherquamide A (abbreviated as PHQ A, CAS No. 77392-58-6, chemical formula as shown in Formula I), which can be obtained by paraherquamide A through amide carbonyl reduction and deoxygenation (Mauragis Micheal A, Lipton Micheal F, Veley Micheal F. Process Development and Preparation of 2-Deoxyparaherquamide: Implementation of a Selective Reduction of Secondary Amides on a Kilogram Scale. Organic Process Research & Development, 2002.6, 192-196.), which is the current process route for industrial production of dequent. The yield of this chemical reaction reaches more than 75%, so the industrial raw material supply of dequent is mainly affected by the output of paraherquamide A. The chemical structure of paraherquamide natural products is complex. Although there is a method for chemically synthesizing paraherquamide A using industrial raw materials isoprene or isoprene epoxide, the chemical reaction steps are as many as 46 (Williams Robert M, Cao Jianhua, Tsujishima H, et al. Asymmetric, stereocontrolled total synthesis of paraherquamide A. Journal of American Chemistry Society, 2003, 125, 12172-12178), the yield is extremely low, and it is not suitable for industrial production. The production of paraherquamide A by microbial fermentation is currently the only way to obtain this compound on a large scale. Summary of the invention

[0035] The strain used in the fermentation of this application is Penicillium sp. KWF31, which was isolated from a marine sediment sample and has been deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on October 21, 2022, with the deposit number CCTCCNO.M 20221625.

[0036] In the present application, the components added to the culture medium, including carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and inorganic salts, are all measured by mass-to-volume ratio.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Collection, isolation and identification of strain KWF31

[0039] Sediment samples were collected from the South China Sea (16°43′43.64″N, 110°28′23.84″E, depth 1352m). The sediments were diluted with sterile seawater and spread on 2216E solid culture medium and cultured at 25°C. Single colonies were picked according to the shape and color of the plaques, and a filamentous fungus was purified by plate streak separation, named KWF31, and then moved to a slant and stored at 4°C for future use.

[0040] On the culture medium, the colony of strain KWF31 grew rapidly, with a loose, flat texture, velvety radial shape, and neat edges; the conidia were spherical, dark green, and purple-pink on the outermost edge, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0041] The strain DNA was extracted, and the ITS fragment was amplified from the extracted DNA gene, and the primers used were ITS1: TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG, and ITS4: TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC. The amplified ITS sequence was 546 bp, and the sequence was shown in SEQ ID No.1.

[0042] The ITS sequence was compared with the NCBI database data, and the similarity between KWF31 and multiple strains of Penicillium sp. in the database was over 98%. It was identified as Penicillium sp. and named Penicillium sp., strain number KWF31. It was deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) in Wuhan, China, with a deposit date of October 21, 2022, and a deposit number of CCTCC NO.M 20221625.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Single factor optimization experiment of fermentation medium: carbon source optimization.

[0045] The carbon source in the culture medium is not only the main energy source for microbial growth, but also the main element in the composition of microbial cells and metabolites. In this experiment, six carbon sources commonly used in microbial culture: sucrose, glucose, soluble starch, maltose, lactose, and mannitol were used to replace the carbon source in the basal culture medium (Czapek medium: sucrose 30.0g, sodium nitrate 3.0g, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 1.0g, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4·7H2O) 0.5g, potassium chloride 0.5g, ferrous sulfate 0.01g, fixed to 1L, pH natural or 7.0-7.2). The carbon source concentration was set to 3.0% (w / v, the same below), and the other components of the basal culture medium remained unchanged. The effects of different carbon sources on the fermentation production of Paraherquamide A by KWF31 were investigated, and the control carbon source was sucrose in the basal culture medium formula. In this experiment, the fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A in the control group was taken as 100%, and the fermentation titer of other experimental groups was calculated in a standardized manner. The fermentation results are shown in the figure. Figure 2 shown.

[0046] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that not all carbon sources can produce Paraherquamide A. When the carbon source is lactose, it is basically not produced. When soluble starch is used as the carbon source, the yield of Paraherquamide A is the highest. Therefore, soluble starch is selected as the best carbon source. On this basis, the formula content of soluble starch is further investigated, and 0.5% soluble starch content is added as a control. The fermentation results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shown.

[0047] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that as the starch content increases, the titer also increases. When the soluble starch content is 2.5%, the titer is the highest, and when the content continues to increase, the titer gradually decreases. It may be because too high a content of soluble starch inhibits the production of secondary metabolites by the bacteria, which is not conducive to the accumulation of Paraherquamide A. Therefore, the soluble starch content is selected to be 2.5%.

[0048] Microorganisms need different carbon sources during the fermentation process, fast carbon sources and slow carbon sources. Fast carbon sources are mostly small molecule carbon sources, which are easily absorbed and utilized, and are conducive to the rapid growth of microorganisms in the early stage, but the composition is simple and not conducive to the synthesis of metabolites. Although slow carbon sources are used more slowly, they can provide more energy under the same amount, which is conducive to the synthesis of secondary metabolites. Soluble starch is a large molecular carbon source. As a slow carbon source in KWF31 fermentation, it is conducive to the synthesis of Paraherquamide A and consists of Figure 2It can be seen that the effect of glucose on fermentation is second only to soluble starch, so it is necessary to examine the effects of soluble starch and glucose on fermentation. The control group was 2.5% soluble starch and 0% glucose. The experimental results are as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0049] Figure 4 The results showed that adding fast carbon source glucose on the basis of adding 2.5% soluble starch as the main carbon source was beneficial to the synthesis of Paraherquamide A. The titer at 1.0% glucose content was 50% higher than that without adding glucose. However, with the increase of glucose, the synthesis of Paraherquamide A did not increase significantly. Taking into account the economic and environmental aspects, the final combination of composite carbon source addition was determined to be 2.5% soluble starch and 1.0% glucose.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Single factor optimization experiment of fermentation medium: nitrogen source optimization.

[0052] Nitrogen source is mainly used by microorganisms to synthesize their own proteins and genetic material, and is also one of the sources of nitrogen-containing metabolites. Common nitrogen sources can be divided into organic nitrogen sources and inorganic nitrogen sources. The organic nitrogen sources explored in this experiment are peptone, soybean cake powder, urea, and yeast powder; the inorganic nitrogen sources are NaNO3, (NH4)2SO4, and NH4C1. On the basis of not adding nitrogen source to the basal culture medium, nitrogen sources with the same mass concentration of 0.3% (w / v, the same below) were added to investigate the effects of different nitrogen sources on KWF31 fermentation, where the control is NaNO3 in the basal fermentation formula. The fermentation results are as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0053] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that when only urea, (NH4)2SO4, and NH4C1 were added, almost no paraherquamide A was produced, indicating that the strain has a certain selectivity for the nitrogen source of Paraherquamide A. Not all nitrogen sources can produce this compound. When yeast powder was added as a nitrogen source, the yield of Paraherquamide A was the highest. Therefore, yeast powder was selected as the best nitrogen source. On this basis, the formula content of yeast powder was further investigated, and 0.3% yeast powder was added as a control. The fermentation results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 shown.

[0054] Depend on Figure 6It can be seen that when the nitrogen source content is low, the increase in nitrogen source content can provide sufficient nutrients for the bacteria to produce metabolites, so the fermentation titer increases with the increase in nitrogen source content, but when the nitrogen source content increases to a certain extent, the increase in nitrogen source content will reduce the fermentation titer. The experiment found that too high a yeast powder content will seriously inhibit the growth of the bacteria, which is not conducive to the accumulation of Paraherquamide A, so the yeast powder content is selected to be 1.2%.

[0055] Organic nitrogen source yeast powder is a delayed nitrogen source that is beneficial to the synthesis of Paraherquamide A. In the early stage of microbial growth, fast-acting nitrogen sources are usually beneficial to the growth of bacteria. Therefore, this experiment considers adding fast-acting nitrogen sources and long-acting nitrogen sources together. Figure 5 It can be seen that the effect of NaNO3 on fermentation is second only to yeast powder. The effect of yeast powder and NaNO3 on fermentation was investigated. The control group was 1.2% yeast powder and 0% NaNO3. The experimental results are as follows Figure 7 shown.

[0056] from Figure 7 It can be seen that the fermentation titer of the strain is significantly improved by adding NaNO3 on the basis of yeast powder as the main nitrogen source, and the titer reaches the highest when the NaNO3 content is 0.8%. Therefore, 1.2% yeast powder content and 0.8% NaNO3 content are selected as the best composite carbon source combination. The existing medium SGY-1.0 after optimizing carbon and nitrogen sources: 2.5% soluble starch, 1.0% glucose, 1.2% yeast powder, and 0.8% sodium nitrate (NaNO3).

[0057] Example 4

[0058] Single factor optimization experiment of fermentation medium: inorganic salt optimization.

[0059] Inorganic salts have a certain influence on the growth of microorganisms and the production of metabolites during the fermentation process. They participate in the composition of cell structural substances, constitute the active groups of enzymes, activate enzyme activity, and regulate cell osmotic pressure. Inorganic salts are divided into two categories: trace elements and macroelements. + , P 5+ , Ca 2+ Mg 2+ etc. are major elements; Co 2+ , Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ 、Zn 2+ , B 3 + 、Mo 6+In this experiment, different types of inorganic salts were added, with the concentration of macroelements at 0.05% (w / v) and trace elements at 0.001% to the previously optimized medium SGY-1.0. The control group was set without inorganic salts to investigate the effect of inorganic salt types on fermentation results. Figure 8 shown.

[0060] Depend on Figure 8 It is known that the macronutrient Mg 2+ The most significant promoting effect may be related to the fact that magnesium is a coenzyme or activator of some enzymes. MnCl2, ZnSO4 and CoCl2 also have a positive effect on the fermentation synthesis of Paraherquamide A. The other inorganic salts have an inhibitory effect on the synthesis of Paraherquamide A. Therefore, based on the medium SGY-1.0, the optimal addition amount of the macroelement MgSO4 and the trace elements MnCl2, ZnSO4 and CoCl2 was considered respectively, and the control group was set without adding inorganic salts. The experimental results are as follows Fig. 9 , Fig.10 shown.

[0061] The experimental results showed that adding Mg to the culture medium 2+ 、Co 2+ , Mn 2+ and Zn2 + It can significantly improve the fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A. It has been verified experimentally that Mg 2+ Addition amount 0.1%, Mn 2+ 、Zn 2+ The addition amount is 0.004%, Co 2+ The fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A increased the most when the addition amount was 0.0005%. The medium SGY-2.0 was obtained by single factor optimization, and its formula was 2.5% soluble starch, 1.0% glucose, 1.2% yeast powder, 0.8% sodium nitrate (NaNO3), 0.1% MgSO4, 0.004% MnCl2, 0.004% ZnSO4, and 0.0005% CoCl2.

[0062] Example 5

[0063] Response surface optimization experiment of fermentation medium.

[0064] The optimal fermentation medium screened out by single-factor experiments is only a collection of the optimal conditions of each single factor. It is impossible to clarify the interaction between the factors and obtain the optimal ratio of the fermentation medium components. Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize the fermentation medium through response surface experiments.

[0065] 1. Plackeet-Burman experiment

[0066] In this experiment, eight factors (soluble starch, glucose, yeast powder, NaNO3, MgSO4, MnCl2, ZnSO4, CoCl2) in the culture medium were selected and numbered X1 to X8. Two levels were selected for each influencing factor, where "1" represents a high level and "-1" represents a low level. The software Design expert 8.0.2 was used to design the experiment, and the first-order optimization was performed through the eight-factor two-level Plackett-Burman experimental design (N=12). Taking the fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A as the investigation target, the main factors affecting the fermentation production of Paraherquamide A by strain KWF31 were screened. The process and results of the experiment are shown in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4.

[0074] The P value (0.0243) of the regression model obtained in Table 4 is less than 0.05, indicating that the model is significant, that is, the model has a good fit in the entire regression area studied; R 2 is the multiple correlation coefficient.

The precision of this experiment reached 12.349.

[0075] Table 4 Significance analysis of Plackett-Burman experiment

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] Note: If P <= 0.05, it means that the influence of the factors in the model is significant.

[0079] As can be seen from Table 2, the fermentation titer of group 3 was the highest, reaching 248.00 μg / mL; the fermentation titer of group 10 was the lowest, only 192.95 μg / mL. The experimental data were analyzed by regression analysis using Design expert software, and the multivariate linear regression equation was obtained:

[0080] Y=221.77+9.63X1+5.55X2+11.62X3+2.31X4+2.14X5-4.57X6+1.55X7+0.12X8 (1)

[0081] From the experimental significance analysis results in Table 4, it can be seen that the factors that have the greatest impact on the fermentation titer are yeast powder X3 (P = 0.0051), soluble starch X1 (P = 0.0087), and glucose X2 (P = 0.0384), while the P values ​​of the other five factors are all greater than 0.05, and have no significant effect on the fermentation titer. It can be seen that yeast powder, soluble starch and glucose are the key factors affecting the fermentation titer. If the regression coefficient in the regression equation is a positive value, it indicates a positive effect, and if it is a negative value, it indicates a negative effect. Therefore, among the factors affecting the fermentation titer in this experiment, MnCl2 (X6) has a negative effect, that is, the fermentation titer decreases with the increase of X6; except for X6, all other factors have positive effects, that is, as each factor increases, the fermentation titer also increases. Therefore, in the subsequent design experiments, the value of the positive effect factor should be increased, and the value of the negative effect factor should be reduced.

[0082] 2. Steepest Climbing Experiment

[0083] Through the Plackeet-Burman experimental design, the significant factors affecting the production of Paraherquamide A by marine fungus KWF31 were screened as yeast powder, soluble starch and glucose. After obtaining the contribution of each significant factor, in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the response surface experiment, it is necessary to approach the center point through the steepest climbing test. Taking the three significant factors as the investigation objects, the climbing step length was designed according to the effect coefficient of each factor in the multivariate linear equation (1) fitted by Design expert. The values ​​of other influencing factors adopted the optimal conditions of single factor experiment, among which NaNO3 was 8.0g / L, MgSO4 was 1.0g / L, CoCl2 was 0.005g / L, MnCl2 and ZnSO4 were both 0.04g / L. The experimental design and results are shown in Table 5.

[0084] Table 5 Steepest climbing test design and results

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] According to the results in Table 5, the fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A reached the highest value when the initial value increased by 5 steps, and the fermentation titer reached 257.58 mg / mL, and the yield was further increased by 12.3%, which was 6.13 times the yield of the original Czapek medium. This is consistent with the expectations of the previous PB experimental results. As the step length increased, the fermentation titer decreased instead, which may be because the culture medium was too thick and not conducive to the growth of strain KWF31. Therefore, 30 g / L soluble starch, 13.5 g / L glucose, and 14.5 g / L yeast powder were used as the center points of the response surface experiment.

[0088] 3. Box-Behnken Design Experiment

[0089] According to the results of the steepest climbing experiment, 30g / L soluble starch, 13.5g / L glucose, and 14.5g / L yeast powder were used as the zero level of the response surface experiment design. The three factors were used in the Box-Behnken design experiment method. By constructing a multiple regression equation model, the relationship between the response value and the variable was fitted, and the interaction between the yield and the variable was intuitively displayed in a 3D graphic manner to optimize the fermentation medium components of the wild strain KWF31, so that the fermentation unit of Paraherquamide A was higher. This experiment was designed with the help of the statistical analysis software Design expert 8.0.2. In the experiment, three factors were taken at 3 levels, respectively represented by "-1, 0, 1". The true value and coded value of each factor are shown in Table 6. The fermentation efficiency values ​​of 17 groups of samples after fermentation are shown in Table 7.

[0096]

[0097] It can be seen from Table 8 that the P values ​​of soluble starch in the first square term are all less than 0.01, indicating that soluble starch has a very significant effect on the fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A; the determination coefficient R 2 =0.8329, which means that 83.29% of the experimental results can be explained by this model, so the model has a high degree of fit. According to the design-expert 8.02 analysis software, the following regression equation is obtained:

[0098] Y=215.49+11.5X1+1.06X2+0.85X3-4.23X1X12-3.53X1X3+0.94X2X3+7.79X1 2 +3.48X2 2 -14.94X3 2 (2)

[0099] The best optimization conditions and prediction results were obtained using design-expert8.02 software. The optimal conditions are when X1=31.00, X2=12.80, and X3=14.44, and the Y value of the optimal point is 241.642. In order to facilitate the experimental operation, X3 is taken as 14.4. Therefore, the predicted optimal culture medium is: soluble starch 3.1%, glucose 1.28%, yeast powder 1.44%, sodium nitrate (NaNO3) 0.8%, MgSO4 0.1%, MnCl2 0.004%, ZnSO4 0.004%, CoCl2 0.0005%.

[0100] 4. Optimization of Fermentation Conditions

[0101] (1) Optimization of inoculum size

[0102] This experiment investigated the effect of different inoculation amounts on fermentation. The fermentation results were as follows: Fig.11 shown.

[0103] Depend on Fig.11 It can be seen that the final inoculation concentration is 10 5 ~10 6 sp / mL had little difference, but the yield decreased with the increase of concentration. This may be because the inoculation amount was large, more nutrients were needed for growth, and the sugar carbon source was consumed prematurely, which reduced the synthesis of Paraherquamide A. Therefore, the final concentration of inoculated spores was controlled at 10 5 ~10 6 sp / mL is enough.

[0104] (2) Temperature optimization

[0105] Each microorganism has its optimum and tolerable range. The optimum temperature of microorganisms in their growth and metabolic activities is also different, mainly because various enzymes in microorganisms have their optimum temperatures. This experiment examines the effect of different temperatures on fermentation, and the results are shown in Fig.12 .

[0106] Depend on Fig.12 It can be seen that as the temperature increases, the fermentation titer first increases and then decreases, and the fermentation titer is the highest at 25°C. Although the fermentation titer at 23°C is not much different from that at 25°C, considering the economic and environmental protection perspectives, 25°C was finally selected as the fermentation culture temperature.

[0107] (3) Initial pH optimization

[0108] This experiment investigated the effect of initial fermentation pH on the synthesis of Paraherquamide A. The experimental results are as follows: Fig.13 .

[0109] Depend on Fig.13 It can be seen that the initial pH of the fermentation broth has a significant effect on the fermentation results. As the pH increases, the fermentation titer of Paraherquamide A shows a trend of first rising and then falling, reaching the highest point at the initial pH of 7.0. It is speculated that it may be more conducive to the growth of this strain in a neutral environment.

[0110] In summary, through single factor experiments and response surface optimization experiments, the optimized medium formula was determined to be SGY (%): soluble starch 3.1%, glucose 1.28%, yeast powder 1.44%, sodium nitrate (NaNO3) 0.8%, MgSO4 0.1%, MnCl2 0.004%, ZnSO4 0.004%, CoCl2 0.0005%. The culture conditions were inoculated with a final concentration of 10 5 ~10 6 sp / mL, fermentation temperature 25℃, initial pH 7.0, under this condition, the yield exceeded 240μg / mL, which was about 6 times higher than the initial yield (42mg / L).

Repeat the previous weighing process until the difference in mass before and after is less than 0.003g. Calculate its moisture content based on the mass difference before and after drying. Take three parallel samples of each resin when measuring the moisture content to ensure the accuracy of the weighing. The moisture content results are shown in Table 9.
