Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microbial culture medium, and in particular to a microbial culture medium based on alkaline spring water and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technology:

[0002] There are many kinds of microorganisms. Although some microorganisms can cause diseases in humans, some microorganisms also play an important role in nature and human life and bring many benefits. For example, Bacillus can enhance the body's resistance, inhibit the growth of pathogens and maintain the balance of intestinal flora. It plays an important role in maintaining human health. Lactobacillus plays an important role in inhibiting putrefactive bacteria, regulating intestinal flora, promoting digestion, promoting nutrient absorption and enhancing self-immunity. Yeast contains nutrients such as protein and vitamin B and a certain amount of minerals such as selenium and chromium. It has the effects of anti-oxidation, protecting the digestive system and promoting human metabolism. In addition, yeast can be used as a fermentation agent, additive and flavoring agent, which can help digest the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and protect the human digestive system.

[0003] Microorganisms need six nutrients: carbon source, nitrogen source, energy, inorganic salts, growth factors and water for growth. Minerals are rich in inorganic salts and trace elements, which provide necessary nutrients for microorganisms. Microorganisms can obtain energy by oxidizing and reducing the variable elements in the mineral structure, thereby providing energy for their growth. In addition, minerals can protect microorganisms from physical damage such as strong ultraviolet rays, abrasion, temperature fluctuations, etc., and can also buffer chemical hazards such as strong acids and strong alkalis, so that they can survive in harsh environments.

[0036] The applicant also possesses the above-mentioned Bacillus subtilis NX3 and Lactobacillus plantarum NCMRS1 and guarantees that they can be provided to the public within 20 years from the date of application.

[0037] Comparative Example 1

[0038] Refer to Example 1, except that the alkaline spring water used in the culture medium is replaced with tap water, and the pH of each culture medium is natural.

[0039] Comparative Example 2

[0040] Refer to Example 1, except that the alkaline spring water used in the culture medium is replaced with tap water, and the pH of A, B and C culture media is adjusted to be consistent with the pH of A, B and C culture media in Example 1 with 1M NaOH and 0.1M HCL.

[0041] Comparative Example 3

[0042] Refer to Example 1, except that the alkaline spring water used in the culture medium is replaced with distilled water, and the pH of each culture medium is natural.

[0043] Comparative Example 4

[0044] Refer to Example 1, except that the alkaline spring water used in the culture medium is replaced with distilled water, and the pH of A, B and C culture media is adjusted to be consistent with the pH of A, B and C culture media in Example 1 with 1M NaOH and 0.1M HCL.

[0045] The alkaline spring water selected in Example 1 is derived from the alkaline spring water of Qinxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd., and tap water and distilled water are used as the comparative water sources of alkaline spring water (Comparative Examples 1-4). The pH of alkaline spring water is 8.0, tap water is 7.5, and distilled water is 6.0. 1M NaOH and 0.1M HCL are used to adjust the pH of A, B and C culture media with tap water and distilled water as water sources to be consistent with the pH of A, B and C culture media with alkaline spring water as the water source. The pH of each culture medium is shown in Table 1.

[0046] Table 1 pH of each culture medium

[0047]

[0048] As shown in Table 1, the natural pH of culture medium A whose water sources are alkaline spring water, tap water and distilled water are pH 6.24, pH 6.50 and pH 6.17 respectively; the natural pH of culture medium B are pH 6.05, pH 6.06 and pH 6.02 respectively; the natural pH of culture medium C are pH 7.06, pH 7.05 and pH 7.04 respectively. There is no obvious difference between the pH of each culture medium whose water source is alkaline spring water and the pH of each culture medium whose water source is tap water and distilled water. This shows that the minerals in the alkaline spring water of Qinxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd. can effectively buffer the pH of the culture medium.

[0049] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, when each microorganism was cultured for 24 hours, the OD of Bacillus subtilis in Example 1 (alkaline spring water, natural pH) in medium A was 600 The OD of Bacillus subtilis in Comparative Example 1 (tap water, natural pH) is 2.00. 600 The OD of Bacillus subtilis in Comparative Example 3 (distilled water, natural pH) was 1.79. 600 The OD of Lactobacillus plantarum in Example 1 (alkaline spring water, natural pH) in medium B was 1.94. 600 The OD of Lactobacillus plantarum in comparative example 1 (tap water, natural pH) was 2.29. 600 The OD of Lactobacillus plantarum in Comparative Example 3 (distilled water, natural pH) was 2.20. 600 The OD of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Example 1 (alkaline spring water, natural pH) in the 2.25°C medium was 600 The OD of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Comparative Example 1 (tap water, natural pH) was 2.29. 600 The OD of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Comparative Example 3 (distilled water, natural pH) was 2.11. 600 The above data show that under the same culture medium components and natural pH, the growth rate of microorganisms in culture medium A, B and C with alkaline spring water as the water source is significantly higher than that of microorganisms with tap water and distilled water as the water source, which indicates that the minerals in the alkaline spring water of Qinxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd. have a significant promoting effect on the growth of microorganisms.

[0050] When each microorganism was cultured for 24 h, the OD of Bacillus subtilis in Example 1 (alkaline spring water, pH 6.24) in medium A was 600 The OD of Bacillus subtilis in Comparative Example 2 (tap water, pH 6.24) was 2.00. 600 The OD of Bacillus subtilis in Comparative Example 4 (distilled water, pH 6.24) was 1.71. 600 The OD of Lactobacillus plantarum in Example 1 (alkaline spring water, pH 6.05) in medium B was 1.91.600 The OD of Lactobacillus plantarum in Comparative Example 2 (tap water, pH 6.05) was 2.29. 600 The OD of Lactobacillus plantarum in Comparative Example 4 (distilled water, pH 6.05) was 2.21. 600 The OD of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Example 1 (alkaline spring water, pH 7.06) in C medium was 2.26. 600 The OD of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Comparative Example 2 (tap water, pH 7.06) was 2.29. 600 The OD of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Comparative Example 4 (distilled water, pH 7.06) was 2.00. 600 is 2.20. The above data show that with the same culture medium components and the same pH adjustment, the growth of different microorganisms from different water sources has obvious differences, which shows that the minerals in the water source in the culture medium have a significant effect on the growth of microorganisms. In addition, when the pH of the culture medium is adjusted consistently, the growth rate of microorganisms in culture medium A, B and C whose water source is alkaline spring water is significantly higher than the growth rate of microorganisms whose water source is tap water and distilled water, which further shows that the minerals in the alkaline spring water of Qinxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd. have a significant promoting effect on the growth of microorganisms.

[0051] The above results show that the minerals in the Hehydromei alkaline spring water produced by Qinxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd. can effectively buffer the pH of the culture medium and have a significant promoting effect on the growth of microorganisms.
