Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microbial nucleic acid extraction, and in particular to a nucleic acid purification device and application thereof in extracting total DNA of microorganisms in crude oil and / or heavy oil. Background Art

[0002] In the field of molecular biology, the extraction of microbial DNA from environmental samples is an important way to study the characteristics of microbial communities. How to efficiently separate and purify is a key content in DNA extraction technology. Using nucleic acid purification columns to separate and purify microbial DNA has always been one of the common methods in DNA extraction technology, and it is also the most commonly used method in commercial kits on the market.

[0003] The common nucleic acid purification column on the market is a cylindrical tubular structure with a cap at one end: a hollow cylindrical structure with a cap of about 4 cm in length (outer diameter of about 1 cm), and a nucleic acid adsorption membrane at the bottom. The nucleic acid purification column body is nested in another hollow cylinder (collection tube) without a cap and about 3 cm in length. The diameter of the collection tube is slightly larger than the nucleic acid purification column body. The two parts are generally referred to as a nucleic acid purification column. The general process of extracting DNA using a common nucleic acid purification column method is to first lyse cells with chemical reagents or bioenzyme preparations to obtain a crude DNA solution, and then transfer this solution to a nucleic acid purification column for purification to remove impurities such as cell debris and prions.

[0004] However, for some extreme environmental samples such as crude oil, the content of microorganisms is low, and the viscosity makes the limitations of ordinary purification columns prominent. First, in terms of convenience, taking crude oil samples as an example, to obtain the same large mass of DNA, it is necessary to increase the number of repeated extractions by dozens of times, making the experimental operation more cumbersome and amplifying human errors; second, in terms of timeliness, it is necessary to repeat the filtration and separation steps of ordinary nucleic acid purification devices many times, and the purification steps that originally only take 5-10 minutes for samples with large biomass will be extended to 1 hour due to repeated operations; third, in terms of nucleic acid quality and purity, the viscosity and low density of crude oil make it easy for crude oil oil phase impurities to adhere and difficult to remove, which has a greater impact on the purification function of general nucleic acid purification columns; fourth, in terms of economy, the characteristics of "small amount and multiple times" make traditional disposable nucleic acid purification columns extremely expensive when applied to large volume samples, and are prone to nucleic acid environmental pollution, while for low biomass samples, more consumption and investment are required. In summary, ordinary nucleic acid purification devices are less suitable for extreme environmental samples including crude oil.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a nucleic acid purification device for extreme environment samples such as crude oil to simplify the operation process of such nucleic acid separation and purification and improve its efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of ordinary nucleic acid purification devices and further enhance the crude oil DNA extraction effect. The present invention aims to design a nucleic acid purification device for extracting total microbial DNA from crude oil and / or heavy oil.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is also to design such a nucleic acid purification device for crude oil and / or heavy oil samples to adapt to the two patented methods for extracting total deoxyribonucleic acid from crude oil, namely, the invention patent number ZL 201710116846.5 (CN106754895B) published by this unit, "Method and kit for extracting total deoxyribonucleic acid from crude oil" and "Preparation and application of kit for extracting genomic deoxyribonucleic acid from heavy oil" (PCT / CN2019 / 104518), so as to further improve the extraction efficiency of total microbial DNA in crude oil and / or heavy oil samples.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a nucleic acid purification device, which is composed of four parts, namely a coarse filtration column, a purification column, a first collection tube and a second collection tube;

[0010] Preferably, the centrifugal rotor of an existing commercial centrifuge (adapted to 50mL and 100mL centrifuge tubes) is used as a template to design relevant dimensions. The nucleic acid purification device includes a coarse filtration column, a purification column, a first collection tube and a second collection tube. The top of the nucleic acid purification device is a sample loading port, which is equipped with a nut cover type sealing cover. The inner diameter of the sample loading port is 32mm. Below the sealing plug is the coarse filtration column. After being filtered by the coarse filtration column, the sample enters the purification column, and then enters the first collection tube after secondary filtration by the purification column to obtain a DNA solution.

[0011] Preferably, the structures of the first collection tube and the second collection tube are respectively adapted to the structures of the purification column: the inner diameter of the second collection tube is the same as the upper outer diameter of the purification column so that the purification column can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the second collection tube and the contact surface is made of a frosted surface to prevent the purification column from tilting or freely rotating; the inner diameter of the first collection tube is the same as the lower outer diameter of the purification column so that the nucleic acid purification column can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the first collection tube and the contact surface is made of a frosted surface to prevent the purification column from tilting or freely rotating; the structures of the filter membranes for the two filtrations are respectively adapted to the structures of the coarse filtration column and the purification column so that the filter membranes are stably nested in the bottom of the coarse filtration column and the purification column, respectively.

The purification column can also fit tightly against the inner wall of the second collection tube and fit into the first collection tube to firmly limit it between the second collection tube and the purification column. These four parts can be tightly fastened and combined into a whole at the same time. The lower part of the coarse filter column is a filter membrane, which intercepts insoluble impurities and does not specifically bind to DNA. The diameter of the filter membrane is 32 mm.

Through the interaction of the frosted surface where the inner and outer tube walls meet, the four parts can be firmly joined together and can be freely disassembled and removed.

[0155] Step 1: Sampling. The experiment was divided into two groups: the nucleic acid purification device of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the "large extraction group") and the common nucleic acid purification device (hereinafter referred to as the "conventional group"). The large extraction group took 20g of the heavy oil sample 1, and the conventional group took 0.5g of the heavy oil sample 1;

[0156] Step 2: Add the extraction reagent system. The following reagents were added to the large extraction group and the conventional group respectively. The reagent addition amounts of the large extraction group and the conventional group for nucleic acid extraction of heavy oil sample 1 are shown in Table 1.

[0159] Step 3: Purify nucleic acid. Keep the mixture from the previous step at 65°C for 30 min, then at 90°C for 30 min, centrifuge (room temperature, 17709.12×g) for 3 min and transfer the supernatant (the crude oil phase is on the upper layer) to a new centrifuge tube;

[0160] Add the same volume of prion precipitate as the upper layer, centrifuge for the second time (room temperature, 17709.12×g) for 5 min and transfer the supernatant to the coarse filtration column 100 (combined coarse filtration column 100, purification column 200 and second collection tube 400).

[0161] Step 4: rinsing and elution. All supernatants are subjected to a third centrifugation (room temperature, 17709.12×g) for 5 min, and the waste liquid in the second collection tube 400 is discarded and returned to the second collection tube 400;

[0162] The coarse filtration column 100 is discarded and 1 mL of pre-cooled rinsing solution is added to the purification column 200 for rinsing. The waste liquid in the second collection tube 400 is removed by a fourth centrifugation (room temperature, 17709.12×g) for 5 min, and the rinsing step is repeated once;

[0163] The purification column 200 is placed at room temperature for 10 minutes to dry the residual rinsing liquid in the adsorption membrane in the purification column 200; the first collection tube 300 is placed in the device, and 100 μL of DNA elution solution is added dropwise to the middle part of the adsorption membrane in the purification column 200, and the mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.

The concentration and purity of the genomic DNA extracted from the heavy oil sample 1 in Example 1 are shown in Table 2.

[0167] The forward primer is 341F: 5′-ACTCCTACGGGAGGCAGCAG-3′,

[0168] The reverse primer was 518R: 5′-ATTACCGCGGCTGCTGG-3′.

This further shows that the present invention is more applicable to heavy oil samples than ordinary nucleic acid purification devices.

[0183] Nucleic acid extraction from the mixture of heavy oil sample 1 and bacterial solution.

[0184] The nucleic acid was extracted according to the method of Example 1, except that bacterial liquid was added to the sample of this example, specifically:

[0185] Bacterial liquid: Cupidesulfovibrio liaohensis (OD 600 =0.58)

[0186] Preparation of bacteria-heavy oil sample 1 mixture: about 150 mL of Liaohe Zhongshida Desulfurized Vibrio bacterial liquid was thoroughly mixed, centrifuged and discarded the supernatant, and a small amount of sterile culture medium was added to make a cell resuspension. After being thoroughly mixed again, it was loaded into weighed 20g, 0.5g, 0.5g, and 0.5g L1YHC23 heavy oil sample tubes according to the volume ratio of 20:0.5:0.5:0.5, thereby making bacteria-heavy oil sample 1 large extraction group and bacteria-heavy oil sample 1 conventional group samples.

[0187] The heavy oil sample 1 is the same as that in Example 1, and the other materials, reagents, steps and detection are completely consistent with those in Example 1.

[0188] Test Example 3

[0189] The concentration and purity of the genomic DNA of the mixture of bacteria and heavy oil sample 1 extracted in this Example 3 are shown in Table 4.

[0190] Figure 8This is an agarose gel electrophoresis diagram comparing the performance of the present invention and a conventional nucleic acid purification device when treating a mixture of bacteria-heavy oil sample 1 in Example 3 of the present invention. The extraction results and verification results show that the concentration of DNA extracted by the present invention is higher (Table 4), and the No. 5 electrophoresis band corresponding to the bacteria-heavy oil sample 1 large extraction group is clearer and brighter than the No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 electrophoresis bands corresponding to the bacteria-heavy oil sample 1 conventional group (such as Figure 8 ), under the same method, the total genomic DNA obtained by the present invention is more and the purity is relatively higher in one extraction, and it is more simple, quick and less labor- and material-intensive when the purpose is to obtain a large number of sample genomes in batches, which further indicates that the present invention is more applicable to heavy oil samples than ordinary nucleic acid purification devices.

[0193] Example 4

[0194] Nucleic acid extraction from the mixture of heavy oil sample 2 and bacterial solution.

[0195] The heavy oil sample 2 is the same as that in Example 2; the preparation method of the bacteria-heavy oil sample 2 mixture is the same as that in Example 3.

[0196] The remaining materials, reagents, steps and detection are exactly the same as those in Example 3.

[0197] Test Example 4

[0198] The concentration and purity of the genomic DNA of the mixture of bacteria and heavy oil sample 2 extracted in Example 4 are shown in Table 5.

[0199] Fig. 9 : This is an agarose gel electrophoresis diagram comparing the performance of the present invention and a conventional nucleic acid purification device when treating a mixture of bacteria-heavy oil sample 2 in Example 4 of the present invention. The extraction results and verification results show that the concentration of DNA extracted by the present invention is higher (Table 5), and the No. 5 electrophoresis band corresponding to the bacteria-heavy oil sample 2 large extraction group is clearer and brighter than the No. 9, No. 10 and No. 11 electrophoresis bands corresponding to the bacteria-heavy oil sample 2 conventional group (e.g. Fig. 9 ), under the same method, the total genomic DNA obtained by the present invention is more and the purity is relatively higher in one extraction, and it is more simple, quick and less labor- and material-intensive when the purpose is to obtain a large number of sample genomes in batches, which further indicates that the present invention is more applicable to heavy oil samples than ordinary nucleic acid purification devices.

[0200] Table 5

[0201]

[0202] The evaluation of the examples is shown in Table 6.

[0203] It can be seen from the above results that from Examples 1-4, combined with the crude oil nucleic acid extraction method previously published by this unit (patent CN106754895B), the extraction effect of the present invention is significantly improved compared with that of ordinary nucleic acid purification devices, which is a relatively large improvement for crude oil and even heavy oil samples. The main reason is that the general purification device or general extraction method is not compatible with the sample type. The characteristics of this sample incompatibility are mainly manifested in: "small amount and multiple times", low biomass, complex sample chemical composition and complex physical properties.

[0204] Table 6

[0205]

[0206] In terms of convenience, the first stage filtration of the present invention (coarse filter column 100 with double filtration design) eliminates the time of manual operation to transfer the lower layer (or middle layer) clear liquid (the upper layer is the oil phase after centrifugation), greatly reducing human errors and single operation time. When extracting low-biomass samples with large mass, ordinary nucleic acid purification devices need to increase the number of experimental repetitions by dozens of times to improve the success rate or total mass. Therefore, the present invention has obvious convenience advantages over ordinary nucleic acid purification devices.

[0207] In terms of timeliness, the present invention has the advantages of continuity and semi-automatic operation. The time saved by a single extraction is about 10 minutes, which can be magnified when the ordinary nucleic acid purification device is repeatedly operated multiple times, so that it can also have a more prominent advantage in timeliness.

[0208] In terms of nucleic acid quality and purity, the test results prove that the quality and purity of the product of the present invention are superior to those of the nucleic acid purification device. The shortcoming of the present invention is that the difference in mass multiples of the original sample consumed by the two nucleic acid purification devices cannot be reflected in the same multiples of the extracted product quality. This may be due to the low biomass and complex components of the sample. However, from the practical results, the advantages of the present invention in the quality and purity of extracted nucleic acid are absolutely superior in overcoming the low success rate of difficult-to-extract samples.

[0209] In terms of economy, when processing samples of the same mass, if the sample mass is less than 4g, the cost of an ordinary nucleic acid purification device of about 2.5 yuan / g is more economical, but when the sample mass is more than 4g, the cost required by the present invention is lower than that of an ordinary nucleic acid purification device, and as the sample mass increases, the economic advantage of the present invention becomes more significant.

[0210] In summary, the present invention has a better application effect on heavy oil samples.

[0211] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention can be subjected to a variety of simple modifications, including the combination of various technical features in any other suitable manner, and these simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention and belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
