Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of functional microorganism screening and application, and in particular to a strain of Bacillus lentus and application thereof in aquaculture. Background Art

[0002] With the development of modern intensive and large-scale aquaculture, stressors have increased, resulting in a decline in the immune resistance of aquatic animals and greatly increased susceptibility to diseases. People usually use antibiotics and chemical synthetic drugs to prevent and treat aquatic animal diseases, but the negative effects of long-term and large-scale use of antibiotics have become increasingly apparent: not only do they destroy the normal intestinal flora of aquatic animals, causing intestinal microecological imbalance, leading to increased susceptibility to pathogenic microorganisms and bacterial resistance, but they also remain in the body, causing adverse reactions such as allergies, and causing pollution to the entire ecological environment.

[0003] Probiotics colonize in the intestines of aquatic animal hosts, accelerate the host's absorption and utilization of nutrients in their bodies, improve the host's immunity and the balance of intestinal flora structure. Unlike antibiotics, probiotics do not have resistance problems and do not pollute the environment. Relevant studies have shown that probiotics can promote digestion and nutrient absorption in aquatic animals, thereby increasing their growth rate. They can also prevent the attachment of pathogenic bacteria by competing for sites on the intestinal mucosa, thereby reducing the occurrence of diseases. They can also decompose harmful substances in water, such as ammonia and nitrite, reduce the concentration of toxic substances in water, and thus improve water quality. This can not only reduce toxicity to aquatic animals, but also reduce pollution to the environment. In general, they are a safe and environmentally friendly microbial preparation that can be used for a long time without affecting the safety of animals and product quality.

[0004] Based on the above advantages, screening out probiotics that can be efficiently used in aquaculture is of great significance for the green, healthy and sustainable development of aquaculture. Summary of the invention

The self-aggregation and hydrophobicity of the strain are as high as 43.1% and 56.1% respectively, both higher than the commercially available Bacillus lentus, which is conducive to its better colonization in the intestinal tract of aquatic organisms.

[0018] The Bacillus lentus SK001 can produce a high amount of protease, and the protease activity in the fermentation supernatant reaches 389.1 U / mL, which is significantly higher than that of the commercially available Bacillus lentus in the control group, achieving an unexpected technical effect.

[0019] The Bacillus lentus SK001 can be widely used as a feed additive in aquaculture, and can significantly improve the growth performance and immunity of aquatic animals, increase the activity of intestinal digestive enzymes, and improve feed utilization.

[0020] The Bacillus lentus SK001 can better induce the production of immune factors, actively participate in the body's immune defense, and thus improve the body's immune defense. Compared with the control group, the survival rate, weight gain rate, and specific growth rate of the probiotic group of shrimp fed with Bacillus lentus SK001 powder increased by 25.3%, 21.2%, and 12.9%, respectively, and the feed coefficient decreased by 18.5%; and the hepatopancreatic lysozyme activity of the probiotic group increased by 42.0%, achieving unexpected technical effects.

[0029] Example 1 Isolation, screening and identification of strains

[0030] 1. Isolation and screening of strains

[0031] Fresh squid viscera were purchased from Manyuwan Farmers Market in Licang District, Qingdao. After the squid viscera were beaten into a pulp and filtered through four layers of gauze to remove the sediment, 10 ml of the filtrate was placed in a conical flask, 90 ml of sterile water was added, and then heated in an 80°C water bath for 10 minutes to eliminate non-Bacillus bacteria. Under a sterile environment, 10 ml of the cooled squid viscera juice was added to 90 ml of LB liquid culture medium and oscillated at 37°C for 24 hours. The mixture was diluted to 10 with physiological saline. -1 , 10 -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 . Pipette 20 μL of sample solution of different dilutions onto casein solid agar culture plates, spread evenly, let stand for 30 minutes, turn the plates upside down, and culture at 37°C. Inoculate three plates for each dilution. Observe the plates daily to see if there are colonies, and preliminarily judge the protease production capacity of the strains based on the size of the transparent circle.

[0032] The colony with the largest transparent circle was inoculated on a new casein culture plate, and the plate was streaked repeatedly until pure colonies were obtained. Finally, the pure colonies were inoculated on the slant culture medium and stored at 4°C after cultivation.

[0033] The strain with the strongest protease production ability obtained from the above screening was named SK001.

[0034] 2. Identification of strains

[0035] (1) Colony biological identification

[0036] The colony morphology of strain SK001 on nutrient agar medium is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the colony is 1-2mm in diameter, round, with neat edges, opaque, grayish white on the front, convex in the middle, smooth, bright on the surface, moist in texture, and easy to pick up.

[0037] (2) Physiological and biochemical identification results

[0038] According to the Manual of Identification of Common Bacteria Systems and the Bergey Manual of Identification of Bacteria, the obtained strains were subjected to physiological and biochemical identification, involving specific indicators such as indole test, hydrogen sulfide test, acetylmethylcarbinol test (VP test), nitrate reduction, propionate utilization, D-mannitol fermentation, and 7% sodium chloride growth. Based on the above results, the strain SK001 can be preliminarily judged to be Bacillus lentus.

[0039] Table 1 Physiological and biochemical characteristics of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0040]

[0041] Note: "+" indicates positive, "-" indicates negative

[0042] (3) Molecular identification

[0043] The obtained strain was extracted using a bacterial genomic DNA extraction kit, and the universal primers 27F (5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3') and 1492R (5'-TACGGCTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3') were used for PCR amplification. The amplified product was added to a 1.5% agarose gel and analyzed by electrophoresis. After the detection of successful amplification, the PCR product was sent to a third-party testing company for sequence determination. The sequencing results were compared for homology using the BLAST tool in NCBI to determine the species classification of the strain. The NCBI comparison results showed that the screened SK001 strain had more than 99.3% similarity with Bacillus subtilis.

[0044] Based on the morphological characteristics, physiological and biochemical characteristics and molecular identification results of the SK001 strain, the applicant determined that the SK001 strain was Bacillus lentus, named it Bacillus lentus SK001 (Bacillus lentusSK001), and it was deposited in the China Type Culture Collection of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China on September 2, 2024, and its preservation number is CCTCC NO: M20241882.

[0045] Example 2 Safety Analysis of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0046] 1. Hemolytic test

[0047] Use a sterile inoculation loop to take the bacterial lawn of Bacillus in the exponential growth period, streak it on Columbia sheep blood plate, incubate it in a constant temperature incubator at 37℃ for 24 hours, and observe whether there is a hemolytic ring around the colony. Use Staphylococcus aureus as a control.

[0048] The results of the hemolytic test showed that there was an obvious hemolytic ring around the Staphylococcus aureus bacterial lawn, while the strain SK001 did not produce an obvious transparent hemolytic ring and had no hemolytic phenomenon.

[0049] 2. Antibiotic resistance test

[0050] Activate the isolated strains to make the OD600 value of the strains reach 1, take 1mL of bacterial solution, centrifuge at 4°C, resuspend the bacteria with PBS buffer, take 100μL of the resuspended bacterial solution and evenly spread it on the LB solid culture medium, use sterilized tweezers to clamp the antibiotic sensitive paper and place it on the surface of the plate coated with the bacterial solution, seal the plate and place it in a constant temperature incubator for 24h to observe whether an inhibition zone is produced. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0051] Table 2 Antibiotic sensitivity test of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] Note: S is sensitive; I is intermediate; R is resistant.

[0055] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that strain SK001 is sensitive to common antibiotics such as ampicillin, furazolidone, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, penicillin G, gentamicin, etc., and has good biosafety. Example 3 Analysis of the probiotic properties of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0056] 1. Antibacterial properties of Bacillus lentus

[0057] Centrifuge the 18-20h Bacillus nutrient broth culture at 12000r / min for 5min, and place the supernatant in a 4℃ refrigerator for later use. 6 100 μL of indicator bacteria solution with a concentration of 1×10 CFU / mL was evenly spread on the LB solid plate, and an Oxford cup was placed. 8 200 μL of the fermentation supernatant of Bacillus lentus with CFU / mL was cultured at 37°C for 24 hours to observe whether an inhibition zone was produced and measure the size of the inhibition zone. At the same time, commercially available Bacillus lentus was used as a control.

[0058] Table 3 Antibacterial activity of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0059]

[0060] From the data in Table 3, it can be seen that the Bacillus lentus SK001 provided by the present invention can effectively inhibit various pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, etc., especially the strongest antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with the diameter of the inhibition zone exceeding 22 mm, which is significantly better than the commercially available Bacillus lentus.

[0061] 2. Self-aggregation and hydrophobicity of Bacillus lentus

[0062] The self-aggregation and surface hydrophobicity of probiotics are important factors that reflect the strength of their adhesion ability and whether they can colonize in the intestines and play a probiotic role. The greater the hydrophobicity of the cell surface, the stronger its adhesion. The self-aggregation of probiotics refers to the phenomenon that the bacteria aggregate into clusters due to large-scale and rapid reproduction during the cultivation process. The stronger the surface hydrophobicity and self-aggregation, the stronger its intestinal adhesion.

[0063] Inoculate Bacillus in LB liquid medium and culture at 37°C for 18 hours. Centrifuge the cultured bacterial suspension at 4°C and 12000r / min for 5 minutes to collect the bacterial cells, and wash them twice with sterile saline to remove the residual liquid in the culture medium. Adjust the OD600 of the bacterial suspension to 0.5 (A 0 ). Take 2 mL of bacterial suspension and let it stand at room temperature for 3 h, take 200 μL of the upper bacterial liquid, and measure the OD value (A) at 600 nm. 1 ); Take another 2 mL of bacterial suspension and mix it with an equal volume of xylene for 2 min, let it stand for 30 min, and measure the OD (A) of the aqueous phase at 600 nm. 2 ). Physiological saline was used as blank.

[0064] The calculation formula of self-aggregation and hydrophobicity is:

[0065] Self-aggregation (%) = (1-A 1 / A0 )×100%.

[0066] Hydrophobicity (%) = [(A 0 -A 2 ) / A 0 ]×100%.

[0067] Where: A 0 is the OD value of the initial bacterial solution at 600nm; A1 is the OD value of the supernatant at 600nm after standing for 3h; A 2 It is the OD value of the aqueous phase at 600nm after mixing with xylene.

[0068] Table 4 Self-aggregation and hydrophobicity of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0069]

[0070] As can be seen from Table 4, the self-aggregation and hydrophobicity of Bacillus lentus SK001 are as high as 43.1% and 56.1%, respectively, which are higher than those of commercially available strains, thus facilitating its better colonization in the intestinal tract of aquatic organisms.

[0071] Example 4 Tolerance test of Bacillus lentus SK001 in simulated artificial stomach and intestinal fluid

[0072] Prepare artificial gastric juice according to the method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia: take 16.4mL of dilute hydrochloric acid, add 800mL of water and 10g of pepsin, shake well, and dilute to 1000mL with water; dilute hydrochloric acid is 234mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid diluted to 1000mL with water to obtain 9.5% to 10.5% dilute hydrochloric acid. Artificial intestinal juice: take 6.8g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, add 500mL of water to dissolve it, adjust the pH value to 6.8 with 0.1mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, take 10g of pancreatic enzyme, add appropriate amount of water to dissolve it, mix the two liquids, and dilute to 1000mL with water.

[0073] The concentration was 1×10 9 CFU / mL of Bacillus lentus suspension was inoculated into simulated gastric juice, simulated intestinal juice and 0.9% saline, respectively, with an inoculation amount of 10%, and the saline group was used as the control group. The suspension was incubated at 37℃ on a shaker (180r / min). The suspension was diluted 10 times with sterile saline at 0, 1, 2, and 3 hours of culture, and the plate colony count was performed. Each dilution was repeated 3 times. The number of viable bacteria at 0h was used as a control to calculate the survival rate under each treatment condition.

[0074] Table 5 Tolerance of Bacillus lentus SK001 to simulated artificial gastric and intestinal fluids

[0075]

[0076] From the results in Table 5, it can be seen that compared with the commercially available Bacillus lentus, the Bacillus lentus SK001 provided by the present invention has a stronger tolerance to the digestive tract environment. After being treated in artificial gastric juice and artificial intestinal juice for 3 hours, the survival rate of the strain is still as high as more than 85%, achieving an unexpected technical effect, and can better pass through the stomach into the intestines to play its probiotic role.

[0077] Example 5 Determination of protease production capacity of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0078] After activation, Bacillus lentus SK001 was inoculated into LB liquid culture medium and cultured at 37°C for 36 hours; the fermentation broth was centrifuged at 4°C and 12000r / min for 5 minutes to collect the supernatant, and the enzyme activity of the protease in the supernatant was determined using the Folin phenol reagent method.

[0079] Table 6 Protease activity of Bacillus lentus SK001

[0080] strain Protease (U / mL) Bacillus lentus 25.7±17.9 Bacillus lentus SK001 389.1±20.7

[0081] From the data in Table 6, it can be seen that the Bacillus lentus SK001 provided by the present invention can produce a high amount of protease, and the protease activity in the fermentation supernatant reaches 389.1 U / mL, which is significantly higher than that of the commercially available Bacillus lentus in the control group.

[0082] Example 6 Application of Bacillus lentus SK001 in freshwater grouper farming
